Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of instant yeast. Stir together with a whisk or fork until well mixed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together ¾ cup of warm milk, ½ cup of warm water, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil or melted butter. Gradually pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon to create a cohesive dough.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  5. Punch the risen dough down gently, divide it into 6-8 equal portions, and shape each into rounds or ovals. Cover with a towel to rest for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Preheat a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Cook each dough piece for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  7. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle with minced garlic, sesame seeds, or herbs if desired.
  8. Serve your warm No-Oven Turkish Bread immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container.
