Step‑by‑Step Instructions for No-Knead Turkish Bread
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, sugar, and instant dry yeast. Stir well and let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together bread flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and melted butter or olive oil.
  3. Mix wet and dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and let rest for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface, turn out the dough, and divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape into balls and rest for 20 minutes.
  5. Roll each ball into an 18 cm flat disc, about 5 mm thick.
  6. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each disc for 1–2 minutes per side until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and steam for additional 1–2 minutes for tenderness.
  8. Remove and brush with melted butter or olive oil before serving warm.
