Bazlama is a very popular farm bread produced from a dough of flour, water, salt and starter dough. This is fermented, divided into 250-gram pieces and flattened into a disc less than 5 millimetres thick. The shaped dough piece is then given a first baking on a hot thick iron plate followed by a second baking on a plate positioned between two fires. This completes the baking of the dough, and also causes the loaf to puff. 1, record 2, English, - bazlama
