Turkish bread

[Cloudberry]

Does anyone know where you can buy Turkish bread? I looked in Stockmann yesterday but couldn't find any (unless of course I was looking in the wrong area!).

Does anyone know where you can buy Turkish bread?

In Turkey?

Some Prismas carried stuff off a local Moroccan bakery, but don't know if its still about.

They have all kinds of breads in Turkey. Do you mean pita? Or some other type?

[Cloudberry]

Oh sorry, the type I mean is like this http://www.bazaarbreads.com.au/default. ... kish+breadit's very freely available in any supermarket in Australia but maybe it's not a traditional Turkish bread? It's possible that we just call it that.

There's also this bakery: http://www.leipomoarza.com/ - leipää johon yksikään käsi ei ole koskenut. Not specifically Turkish I guess - the cedar tree would point towards Lebanon.

Don't know if it's the kind of bread that the OP is looking for... but it's available in some supermarkets (I think I last spotted some at the Kamppi K-supermarket?) and I've been happy enough with it - quite good with middle-eastern cooking at least!

edit: Pide -> it's Pita bread. There may be some slight variations but I'd guess it's more or less the same in most Mediterranean/ME countries... and yes you should be able to find these from Ärzä - great name btw! If all else fails call them and ask where they deliver their goods...

Sratching... OK so hows that different from regular "French bread"? (which has nothing to do with France ) Then you get various other loaves... usually those sold by something with countryside or italia in the name are more towards a mediterranean style bread...

I wonder if that Bazaar bread on the right is pita-type? If it is, it is really very easy to make yourself. I just did a couple of days ago. It just takes water, flour, oil, salt, a pinch of sugar and yeast.

Usually most stores have pita-bread (not necessarily on bread shelfs but in the same place where they have tacos, tortillas and such).

The smaller Turkish rolls on the right in the original pic is just the roll type not pita. You can buy Turkish bread in Australia by the loaf or in those single serve rolls. The texture is soft and fluffy not heavy.

Here's another picture that might distinguish between what I know as Turkish bread (the thicker bread at the front - which is what I'm trying to find) and pita bread (to the left and right - which is what I'd call pita or lebanese bread)

That is "ciabatta" here, also those, "wet&put in oven" deals in plastic wrap.

"turkish bread" is here about as popular as "ensalada russa"... so you buy "ciabatta" and "Italian salad" instead
The moroccan bakery stuff is pretty close.

[Cloudberry]

Yes, we've been using ciabbata instead. I did some more reseach and it seems what we refer to as "turkish bread" is really "pide". I might try making it myself sometime. But in the meantime I'll keep using the ciabbata in place of Turkish bread.

I must say though that Finland really knows how to make bread! there's so many different types and styles that we haven't even tried yet and I love the wholesome-ness of what we've tried so far.

What you might also want to try is those pirkka-brand "maalaispatonki" that come in a vacoom you bake in the oven.

Will do, thanks for that

I miss that bread too. My favorite kebab place used it to make fantastic doners..

I'm actually going to try and replicate it soon. You can get it from Tallinn, but I guess that can be a bit far to go...

Interesting how one can find all kinds of things in Tallinn - not easily found in even Helsinki - and these items have nothing to do with traditional Estonian or Russian cuisine
