Balloon bread and Turkish bread

Balon ekmek

Puffed-up Turkish balloon bread
Serving suggestion

Balloon bread is the showstopper of the Turkish bread basket: flatbread that puffs up into a big hollow dome in the heat of the oven, served hot so you tear it open at the table.

Where it comes from

Bread is sacred in Turkish culture and comes with every meal. At grill houses the dough is rolled thin and baked fast in a very hot oven, which makes it puff into a balloon.

How we make it at EFES

Fresh balloon bread hot from the oven, or our Turkish bread, perfect for scooping up meze.

Why does balloon bread puff up?
