Oh my Gosh!!! what is this??? wonderful and delicious... the bread and the Egg Sandwich are good for breakfast, lunch or snack! Thank you Binnur, I hope to prepare it as good like yours!
Hi Annie,
My mum and me used to have Egg Sandwich when we got a chance to be together as a light lunch in Istanbul. Whenever I prepare it here for myself I always remember my mum:)
thank u 4 a wonderful recipe site.i married a turkish man 18 years ago and i am always looking out for new turkish recipe ideas. it is very difficult to get a turkish recipe book in english especially here in south africa.
Hi Nurten,
Thank you. I am glad you like my recipes:)
Take care,
Hello...would love to try this recipe...but am unsure what to look for in Turkey. Is misir unu the same thin as corn meal???? I am afraid my Turkish isn't up to this one....thanks!
Hi Ali,
Yes corn meal is misir unu. I also have a Turkish version of all my recipes. I use the same order (same dates). If you need to find translations, this can be helpful :)
On the right side there is Turkce section, click on it. Here is the address;

hey,
for the dill butter, is it okay to use dried dill.
thanks.
Sure, you can use dried dill:)
Hello - I have a new Turkish daughter in law (and a grandson!) Your recipes look great-she recommended your site-can hardly wait to start cooking.
Hello,
All your recipes work and the end results are always delicious! You are like the Nigella of Britain, again whose recipes always work. Thank you for all your work you put in and sharing!
I can't wait to try this. Only thing is, I never baked bread before. I only have a dusty (from non-use) muffin pan. Do you think it will bake too quickly and ruin the recipe if I made them in muffin size? Thank you so much for this low sugar recipe!
Hi,
I think you can use the muffin pan. You need to check it with a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread or cake. It should be clean. If there is only a few crumbs on it, return the bread (or cake) to the oven and continue baking. As you said, it may bake earlier:)
Is corn meal healthier than wheat or rye one ?why the bread is popular in turkey? maybe it's because of its beautiful color :) I want to bake it one day...Polonyada sevgilerimler
Merhaba,
The word for bread in Turkish is ekmek. Bread has a major cultural significance in Türkiye. We Türks love our delicious ekmek:) Turkish women cook for centuries a variety of pot dishes, pastries, etc. So
juicy pot dishes can't be eaten without bread or pide. Dishes and
ekmek complement each other:)
If you don't have a freshly cooked dish at home, split the corner of
the fresh bread, stuff it with whatever you have at home like cheese, tomato, cucumber, olive, pastirma, sucuk or break the onion with your fist, peel and fill it:) Or just season with salt and pepper!
We have so many different kinds of bread and we love them all:)
Sevgilerimle,
misir unu appears to be corn flour, like normal flour, the same texture. can anyone please tell me how to find the slightly grainy yellow corn meal in turkey - what is the word on the packet for polenta that i should be looking for? thanks, this has been driving me crazy trying to find it. i'm in alanya btw. :)
Hi,
You should buy large grain (coarse or extra-coarse) cornmeal to make polenta:)

Hi,
I made the cornbread and it was deliciuos. I just excluded the lemon zest; you mentioned it on the ingredients, but you never said what to do with it.
Best regards
Josef
Sorry Josef, I corrected it:) Thank you!
Merhaba, Binnur,
I have tried making it today and the problem is - the bottom came out too dense and not fluffy at all(((although the top is done nicely. The bread tastes good and the only thing that spoils everything is that heavy, moist bottom. Also the loaf sank while cooling. I tried to stick to the amounts of the ingredients given and used a 250 ml cup to measure everything I needed.
It seems the batter was a bit too thin... is it supposed to be that way?
Merhaba,
It seems you took it out of the oven a little bit too early. The loaf sinks only if it is not baked. Almost every oven has different settings. You may need to adjust the time or heat:) You should check it out by poking the top of the cake slightly in the middle with a toothpick or wooden stick.
Sevgilerimle,
Dear Binnur, do I need to use Turkish yoghurt for this or is any plain yoghurt (from the UK in my case) sufficient? Thank you!
Hi,
You can use any plain yogurt for all the recipes that I have been posting:)
