This Fluffy Turkish Bread—commonly referred to as Bazlama or Pide—is the perfect side for dips, soups, or grilled dishes. Warm milk combined with olive oil gives the bread a tender, cloud-like interior, while baking at a high temperature allows it to puff up beautifully. It’s an easy, versatile bread that adds a genuine Mediterranean touch to any meal with minimal effort.
