Frequently Asked Questions About Bazlama with red lentils
What is bazlama with red lentils?
Bazlama with red lentils is a Turkish flatbread made by adding cooked red lentils to a soft, yeasted dough. It is traditionally cooked on a hot griddle or skillet and has a heartier texture than plain bazlama.
How do you make bazlama with red lentils?
To make bazlama with red lentils, cook and drain the lentils, then mix them into a yeasted dough. Let the dough rise, divide and flatten it, and cook each piece in a hot skillet until both sides are browned and the centre is cooked through.
Do you cook red lentils before adding them to bazlama dough?
Yes, cook the red lentils before adding them to bazlama dough. Raw lentils may not soften properly as the bread cooks, while excess cooking water can make the dough sticky, so drain the lentils well before mixing them in.
Why does bazlama with red lentils turn out dense?
Bazlama with red lentils can turn out dense if the dough is too dry, the lentils are added with too much water, or the dough has not risen enough. Keep the dough soft, drain the cooked lentils, and allow it to expand before shaping.
Can you cook bazlama with red lentils without a griddle?
Yes, you can cook bazlama with red lentils in a heavy skillet if you do not have a griddle. Preheat it over medium heat and cook the flattened dough without overcrowding the pan, turning each piece so the middle cooks before the surface gets too dark.
What should you serve with bazlama with red lentils?
Bazlama with red lentils pairs well with soups, salads, dips, and savoury breakfast foods. Serve it warm alongside hummus or a yoghurt-based dip, or use it to scoop up stew; its substantial texture makes it useful as both bread and a side.
Can you make bazlama with red lentils without yeast?
Yes, you can make bazlama with red lentils without yeast, but the result will be flatter and less airy than the traditional yeasted version. A quick-bread approach using a raising agent can work; keep the dough tender and avoid overworking it.
How do you store leftover bazlama with red lentils?
Store leftover bazlama with red lentils only after it has cooled completely, sealed in a bag or airtight container. Keep it at room temperature for short-term use, or freeze it for longer storage; refrigeration can make flatbread dry out faster.
Can you freeze bazlama with red lentils?
Yes, bazlama with red lentils freezes well. Cool the pieces completely, separate them with baking paper, and seal them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw a piece and warm it in a skillet or toaster to bring back a softer texture.
How do you reheat bazlama with red lentils without drying it out?
Warm bazlama with red lentils in a covered skillet over low heat, adding a few drops of water to the pan if it seems dry. The trapped steam softens the bread; avoid prolonged high heat, which can make the outside tough.

What is Bazlama with red lentils?
Bazlama with red lentils is a Turkish griddle bread: a thick, soft bazlama dough is enriched with cooked red lentils, which lend it a gently earthy flavour. Bazlama is traditionally cooked on a hot griddle and is enjoyed across Turkey, with variations from home to home.
Serve it warm at breakfast with olives, cheese or tomatoes, or alongside soup and other home-cooked dishes. It is hearty yet not especially rich, and the lentils contribute both protein and fibre; a 100 g portion provides 5.6 g of fibre. For a lighter meal, pair a piece with fresh vegetables or a simple salad.
