Turkish milk bread in a pan

by

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 2: Knead the Dough

  1. Knead: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
  2. Shape: Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean towel.

Step 3: Let the Dough Rise

Allow the dough to rise in a warm area for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 4: Shape the Bread

  1. Deflate: Once risen, punch down the dough to release excess air.
  2. Shape: Shape the dough into a round or oval loaf, depending on your preference.

Step 5: Cook in the Pan

  1. Heat Pan: Heat a non-stick frying pan over low heat. Lightly grease the bottom.
  2. Add Dough: Place the shaped dough in the pan. Cover with a lid or a kitchen towel.
  3. Cook: Cook for 20-30 minutes, checking occasionally. If the bottom browns too quickly, reduce the heat. After 15 minutes, carefully flip the bread to brown the other side, covering again.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

  1. Remove: Once golden and cooked through, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
  2. Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. Great with butter, jam, or cheese!

Tips for Perfect Turkish Milk Bread
