Frequently Asked Questions About Bazlama with Potatoes and Kaşar Cheese
What is bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese?
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.
How do you make bazlama with potatoes and kaşar 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.
Which potatoes work best in bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese?
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.
Can you use another cheese in bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese?
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.
How do you keep bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese from opening in the pan?
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.
Can you prepare bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese ahead of time?
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.
Can bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese be frozen?
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.
How do you reheat bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese?
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.
What can you serve with bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese?
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.
Is bazlama with potatoes and kaşar cheese traditionally Turkish?
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.
