Binnur,

I really love your site and I would like to ask if you have a recipe for "Tatli mayali ekmek" also called "Nohut mayali ekmek". My hala used to make these and I can't find a decent recipe anywhere! Also a recipe for "Katmer" would be nice :-). Aside from that you have an amazing website.

Sahane bir site icin tessekur ederim,

Thank you for your nice comment, I appreciate it:) I am going to post Nohutlu Ekmek and Katmer in the future :)
Sevgilerimle,

 
At 5:41 PM, Blogger Binnur said...

Tesekkur ederim, iyiyim:) I really don't know about the dish you described:) I read it like pogaca (Halfmoons with Feta Cheese ) which I posted but the description doesn't match.

merhaba, i love your site and find it very informative (thanks for the great pics :)! )
there's this certain food that i dont know its name, its made with tahini, its like tahini bread but it is thiner and crispier, kind of flaky. i have been looking everywhere to find out what its called and i'd really like to know! if you know what its called i'd really appreciate it, also if you do have a recipe that would be fantastic! i love all the food here and your recipes are great! ^.^

 
At 10:07 PM, Blogger Binnur said...

Hi,
Thank you:) I do few pastry with Tahini. Your description looks like a Tahinli Katmer to me. Also it can be Tahinli Yufka which is not flaky but thin and crispy. I am going to post them in the future:)

Hi Binnur, I worked in Istanbul for a couple of years in the 90's and miss the food, the people and the marvellous city! I have scoured your recipes and found many of my old favourites, except 1! Simit. The wonderful bread sold by the street sellers that I enjoyed on its own for breakfast every day. Do you have a recipe? Cheers

Hi,
I've just come back from a great holiday in Turkey and would be grateful if you would provide me with the recipe for this wonderful bread & garlic dip we were given on the house at most restaurants. It wasn't ekmek, more like a huge pita bread, filled with air so it looked like it had been blown up and topped with sesame seeds.The dip consisted of garlic and possibly yoghurt?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Jo

Hi Jo,
This is a perfect description of the Lavas Bread I've ever heard, I loved it:) I'll post it in the future. The dip you are asking is Haydari. I've already posted it, here is the address;

This bread can be served with Tulum Cheese and butter, as well.

Hello,

Selam Binnur,
I was just in Turkey for New Years visiting my boyfriend (who will coming to America this Summer after he finishes his last term at METU in Ankara!)and I fell in love with the Turkish Pide and everything else I ate there! I was wondering if you could post more pide topping suggestions. I had something in Istanbul that had maybe beef with some peppers and a tomato base served on the boat-shaped pide? It was like nothing I've ever had so I can't imagine how to go about making it. I hope to return in June to spend more time with his family and then travel back to the states with him. I am hoping to learn some cooking techniques from his mother and grandmother while I'm there (that is if I can improve my Turkish!) your site looks great! The images are so helpful. I, like many others who have commented, am trying to learn to cook for my Turkish love, but because I fell in love with the food also!
teşekkür ederim!
Jessi

 
At 1:03 PM, Blogger Binnur said...

Hi Jessi,
What you ask is Kiymali Karadeniz Pidesi or Kiymali Pide. Sure I am going to post more pide recipes in the future:) I would suggest that you to take some notes while his mum is cooking. I wish you and your boyfriend happiness, take care:)

Dear Binnur,
I found your site while looking for a recipe for chicken tava and I love it! My husband lived in Turkey for four years and he loves Turkish food. I made the recipe for chicken tava and made the red pepper paste under grow lights, since it was raining outside and it turned out perfect! My husband liked it so much that he now wants me to make Ekmek. Please post it soon, as he is away on a business trip and would love to have it ready for him upon his return. Thank you for sharing your site. I love it and your recipes!!!!

Thanks again,

Thank you so much for this great site. I'm from Australia from an Australian backround who tasted the spinach & feta cheese gozleme (i think thats the right spelling)in a fete and it was the most tastest bit of food i had ever tasted. Do you have the recipe for it that is easy enough for a non-turkish person to make. Thank you so much.

Hello Binnur,

I would like to know if you have a recipe for a warm hummus dish. We went to Bodrum and happened upon this wonderful restaurant Ali Kestaneci. They serve the most wonderful warm hummus. It is done with ground chickpeas, not pureed. I believe it also has cumin in the seasoning. Your country, people, and the food are the most wonderful in the world!!!

Thanks,

Do you know how to make a fried breakfast bread called gobut? My mother in law in Turkey makes it and I would love to have the recipe. It's a round bread or pide, I think with no yeast, and she fries it, we eat it with jam or cheese or sujuk.

Gobut is thick Turkish crepe or pancake that belongs to Kastamonu region. It is also called akitma at some other regions. There is no yeast in it. I am going to post in the future:)

At 3:03 PM, Blogger Binnur said...

Hi,
Puffed bread is called Ballon Pide. Red paste could be some kind of dip based on red pepper paste. There is so much variety for this kind of dips in Turkish cuisine. So it is hard to tell:)

Hello,
In Istanbul last year we were thrilled by a bread from a local shop, and I can't seem to locate a recipe for anything like it. It was a dark loaf, whole wheat perhaps, and leavened. It had very large whitish seeds. t seemed to be reasily available, as our hotel served it with breakfast. Any ideas? Thank you.

I was stationed at Incerlik in the early 1980's. Lived in the village and walked past the bakery every day on the way to work. I would often pick up a loaf of ekmek and pide to share with my coworkers. The pide they made there looked like it was worked into a rope and then wound around itself flat, somewhat like a rag rug pattern. it was only about a centimeter or so thick and the loafs might be small and round or more usualy long and oval shaped. can't seem to find one like that on the sight.

Hello Sana,
I think what you ask is Kaşar peyniri (Kashar Cheese). I don't know where you live but Turkish Kasar cheese is not sold in North America. I use Mozzarella instead of fresh kasar, and Asiago instead of old kashar. They are the closest ones that I can find here:)

Hello Binnur Can you post a proper yufka recipe in a separate post with a picture:)? I mean I know ingredients I found them in comments to other dishes but I still dont know how many will them serve and how long to cook yufka and if to cook with a lid or without how long? It is not obvious for a non turkish cook:) I would strongly appreciate yufka recipe as a sample of Trkish food. Yours sincerely reader:)

 
At 8:58 AM, Blogger Binnur said...

Hi,
Thank you:) It is hard to roll the dough to regular size of yufka. I don't have a Turkish roller (oklava) and large counter to do that. I've posted a small size yufka recipe with the prep pictures in the Gozleme recipe:)
When you make your own yufka, it should be used while it is still
fresh. Immediately prepare any kind of borek and bake without a
cover in a preheated 350 F oven until the top is light golden colour.
But I will try to make small size borek with small yufkas in a small tray:)

We have sweet and also salty cookies in our cuisine like sesame rings. And using 250 mg salty butter suits our taste well. But in
here (North America) they want less salt and more sugar in their cookies. That's why I needed to adjust the recipe using half salted half unsalted butter to make it more likeable.
The other one is olive oil; in our cuisine we use Turkish coffee cup or Turkish tea glass or glass instead of measuring cup as a tool:) There is not much difference between 50 ml and 60 ml (which is equal to Turkish a coffee cup). So I adjusted it for the convenience of the followers:)
These little changes won't effect the taste or the result of the recipes:)
Take care,

Hi,

In Australia there's a turkish shop that sells bureks.
These ones: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5066/5839362382_3e69c56403_m.jpg

It's a long bread burek rather than pastry. Have you got a recipe for this? If so could you please include the recipe for the bread too? Thank youu!

Hi Nipuna,
The picture is too small, I can't see much:) You can check the Pastries section of my blog. There are so many varieties of Borek in Turkish cuisine:)

I made ur sujuk pide recipe and it came really well. only issue was the bottom was burnt by the time the rest of the bread was done. Any suggestions on how I may be able to fix this issue next time around?

Hi Jackson ,
As you know, the ovens have different settings. You may need to adjust the time or heat:)

Which recipe is for just a plain bread, like that which you serve with many of your kebap recipes above. I've noticed a lot just call for pide, but I'd like to make my own :)

Hi Binnur,

I love your site and used loads of recipies before. I was married to a turkish guy that used to cook me something that we had for lunch a lot. It was used with either minced lamb or diced lamb (cooked with spices) then put inside turkish bread with fresh tomaroes parsley oniin lemon and sumac. I cant remember what the dish is called. Can you help me??

Thanks Jackie
