Preparación

1. 1

   Yeast - In a medium bowl, combine water, yeast, honey, and oil.

2. 2

   Combine - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix to form a soft dough. Then, knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

3. 3

   Rise - Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

4. 4

   Oven - Preheat your oven to 425°F/220 °C/ Gas Mark 6 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Shape - Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a round or oval shape about 1/2 inch thick.

6. 6

   Pattern - Use your fingers to make indentations all over the surface of the dough, creating a dimpled effect. Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

7. 7

   Eggwash - In a small bowl, combine the water, flour, yogurt, and beaten egg. Brush the egg mixture over the surface of each bread. Sprinkle nigella seeds or sesame seeds over the top for garnish.

8. 8

   Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

9. 9

   Serve - Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Ramazan Pidesi is traditionally served warm, sliced, and enjoyed with butter, cheese, olives, and other accompaniments.
