Bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese is a Turkish stuffed flatbread: soft bazlama dough is filled with potato and kaşar, then cooked on a griddle or in a pan. The filling is usually mashed potato with grated cheese.
Make or prepare bazlama dough, let it rise, and divide it into portions. Add cooked, mashed potato and grated kaşar to each portion, seal the dough around the filling, flatten gently, then cook both sides in a covered pan over medium-low heat.
Floury potatoes work well in bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese because they mash smoothly and make a cohesive filling. Cook and cool them before mixing with the cheese; excess moisture can make the dough difficult to seal.
Yes, you can substitute a mild, good-melting cheese for kaşar in bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese. Choose one that is not too watery, and keep in mind that a stronger cheese will give the filling a noticeably different flavor.
To keep bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese sealed, leave a clear border around the filling, pinch the dough edges firmly together, and place the seam underneath in the pan. Avoid overfilling, which puts pressure on the seal as the cheese melts.
Yes, you can prepare the filling ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container; use it once it is cool. You can also shape the filled bazlama shortly before cooking, but keep it covered so the dough does not dry out.
Yes, bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese can be frozen after cooking and cooling completely. Wrap portions well to limit freezer burn. Thaw in the refrigerator, then warm in a covered pan so the center heats through without drying the bread.
Reheat bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese in a covered skillet over low heat, turning it once, until the middle is warm and the cheese softens. A microwave is quicker, but it can make the bread soft rather than lightly toasted.
Serve bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese with a crisp salad, sliced tomatoes, or pickles to balance its soft, savory filling. It also works as a substantial snack or a simple lunch, without needing another bread-based side.
Bazlama is a Turkish flatbread, while filling it with potato and kaşar is a home-style variation rather than one fixed recipe. Similar stuffed breads are made with different fillings, and the exact seasoning and cooking method vary between households.

Bazlama with Potatoes and Kaşar Cheese is a Turkish griddle bread filled with potato and melting kaşar, a mild, semi-hard cheese from Turkey. The potato is often mashed and seasoned before being tucked into the soft, thick dough, which is cooked until warm and lightly browned.
It is best served hot, as a filling breakfast or an easy snack alongside tea. The bread and potato make it fairly carbohydrate-forward, while the cheese adds some protein; it provides 33 g of carbohydrates per 100 g. For a lighter meal, pair a piece with fresh salad, or use less oil when warming it in a pan.
