TURKISH FLATBREAD (YUFKA)
Yufka is the traditional flatbread of Turkish cuisine, used in everything from shawarma to boreks. Chewy, soft, and blistered, these easy unleavened wraps come together in 30 minutes with just flour, water, oil, and salt-and they'll outshine anything you find in supermarkets.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Use your hand to make a well in the center; pour in water and olive oil. Mix until dough forms, adding more flour if necessary, about 3 minutes. The dough will be extremely sticky and shaggy. Transfer to a clean bowl, drizzle with a little bit of oil, and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours (or overnight in the refrigerator).
- When the dough has rested, it will look smooth and be very soft. Divide the dough in half, then divide each half into three equal pieces. Roll the first ball into a very thin 8- or 9-inch round, using more flour to keep the dough from sticking to the rolling pin. Heat a cast-iron skillet or nonstick pan over low heat until hot. Cook the first flatbread on one side until it starts to bubble up and lightly brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side, about 30 seconds; the bread should stay soft and pliable. Set finished flatbread aside.
- Wiping out excess flour in the pan as you go, continue rolling and cooking until you have a stack of warm yufka. Serve immediately with hummus, baba ghanoush, or another dip. (Alternatively, use flatbreads for Chef Sortun's Red Lentil Wraps.) (Note: After completely cooling, flatbread can be stored in a zip-top plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, wrap in aluminum foil and place in a 250 degrees F oven for 8-10 minutes, or wrap in a damp towel and microwave for 15-30 seconds.)
TURKISH SPICY MEAT-FILLED FLATBREAD
These stuffed flatbreads are shaped much like meat-filled galettes. Lamb is the meat of choice in many Mediterranean cuisines, and here it is combined with other key ingredients of the region-eggplant and pomegranate-along with the warm aromatics often used in Turkish cuisine.

Steps:
- Prepare a hot fire (475°F) in a wood-fired oven.
- To make the dough, sprinkle the yeast over 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl and stir to dissolve the yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil and combine using your hands or a stand mixer. Add the yeast mixture plus the remaining water. Knead for 5 minutes using a dough hook or by hand on a floured board (adding flour if needed when kneading by hand) until the dough is smooth and elastic, 5 to 7 minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat it with oil. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, until doubled in size.
- To make the filling, toss the olive oil, onion, and eggplant together and sprinkle with salt. Spread on a baking sheet. Place on the floor of the oven and cook until the eggplant is soft, about 7 minutes. Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a small cast-iron skillet in the oven, sauté the lamb in a small amount of olive oil and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Discard any fat. Remove from the heat and stir in the pomegranate molasses, tomato, spices, and pine nuts. Add lemon juice to taste.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces on a floured board and roll into balls. Flatten each ball into a 5-inch disk. Stretch the dough into a thin disk about 6 inches across. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place one-fourth of the meat filling in the center of each disk and spread to about 1 1/2 inches from the edge. In 4 to 5 increments, fold the dough up toward the center to contain the filling. Lightly brush with olive oil and lightly dust with salt.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until beautifully golden. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve hot.

Steps:
- Mix the yeast and 250ml warm water in a small bowl, and leave to stand for 5-10 mins until foamy - this means the yeast is working. Put the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl (or use a tabletop mixer fitted with a dough hook and set at a low speed). Add the yeast mixture and mix by hand or machine until the dough comes together into a ball. If the mixture is too sticky to form a ball, add 2 tbsp flour and mix again. Knead for 12 mins by hand, or 8-10 mins on a high speed in the mixer, until smooth, then put in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn to coat the dough in the oil, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for 2-4 hrs until doubled in size. (You can also put it in the fridge overnight, punch down and let it rise again at room temperature.)
- Heat the oven to 240C/220C/gas 9. Put a baking sheet or pizza stone on the middle shelf. If you're using lamb leg meat, blitz it in a food processor until it's finely minced. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat until hot. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 10 mins until golden. Add the lamb and cook for 5 mins or until brown, breaking up any lumps with a spoon, then pour off any excess oil. Add the spices, some seasoning, tomato purée, tomatoes and the pomegranate molasses, and cook for 5 mins more, mixing everything together well and breaking down the tomatoes with a spoon. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Can be done one or two days ahead.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 30 x 40cm. Sprinkle 1 tsp or so of the semolina on a baking sheet. Put the dough on top and make sure it can move around. Add the spicy lamb first, then top with the red onions, pine nuts and feta. Slide onto the heated baking sheet or pizza stone and cook for 10-15 mins until crisp on the bottom.
- Remove and drizzle with a little extra pomegranate molasses, then scatter over the parsley and pomegranate seeds. Transfer to a large board and cut into diamonds to serve.
