Turkish milk bread, or “sütlü ekmek,” is a soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet bread that’s traditionally baked, but can easily be made in a pan for a convenient and delicious treat. This method allows you to make the bread without an oven, resulting in golden, pillowy loaves perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or as a side for any meal.
