Balloon bread and Turkish bread
Balon ekmek

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.
