Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and dry yeast.
  2. Add the warm water, yogurt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough begins to form.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
  6. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a disk about ΒΌ inch thick.
  7. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook each Bazlama for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear.
  8. Serve warm with your choice of toppings or dips.

Chef’s Tips

  • Use warm water (not hot) to activate the yeast effectively.
  • Ensure the dough rises in a warm, draft-free area for optimal results.
  • Cook on low to medium heat to ensure the bread cooks through without burning.
