Frequently Asked Questions About Cheese bazlama
What is cheese bazlama?
Cheese bazlama is a Turkish flatbread dish made by filling thick, soft bazlama bread with cheese and heating it until the filling melts. It is commonly served warm, with the cheese tucked between two halves of the bread.
How do you make cheese bazlama at home?
To make cheese bazlama, split a bazlama, add cheese, then toast it in a pan or sandwich press until the bread is golden and the cheese melts. Use moderate heat so the filling warms through before the outside browns too much.
What cheese is best for cheese bazlama?
A melting cheese such as kaşar or mozzarella works well in cheese bazlama. Grated cheese spreads more evenly between the bread halves; for a saltier, less stretchy filling, combine a little feta-style cheese with a melting cheese.
What is the difference between cheese bazlama and a cheese gözleme?
Cheese bazlama uses thick, bread-like bazlama with cheese between its halves, while cheese gözleme is made from thin dough folded around a filling and cooked on a griddle. Bazlama has a softer, breadier bite; gözleme is thinner and more pastry-like.
What do you serve with cheese bazlama?
Cheese bazlama pairs well with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, olives, or a simple salad. In Turkey it can be served for breakfast with tea, while ayran makes a refreshing accompaniment for lunch or a casual meal.
How do you stop cheese from leaking out of cheese bazlama?
Leave a border around the edge of the cheese bazlama and avoid overfilling it. Cook it over moderate heat rather than pressing hard in a sandwich maker; too much pressure can force the melting cheese through the sides.
How should you store leftover cheese bazlama?
Let leftover cheese bazlama cool, then store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. Refrigerate it promptly because the cheese filling should not be left at room temperature for an extended time.
Can you freeze cheese bazlama?
Yes, cheese bazlama can be frozen once cool. Wrap individual portions securely, thaw them in the refrigerator, then reheat in a pan or sandwich press. The bread may be softer after freezing, so reheating it until lightly crisp helps.
Can you reheat cheese bazlama without making it soggy?
Yes, reheat cheese bazlama in a dry pan over low-to-medium heat, turning it as needed until the center is warm. A sandwich press also works; avoid microwaving for too long, since trapped steam can make the bread chewy or soggy.
Can you make cheese bazlama with store-bought bazlama?
Yes, store-bought bazlama works well for cheese bazlama. Slice it horizontally, add the filling, and toast it in a pan or sandwich press; check the bread as it heats because thinner or drier bazlama can brown quickly.
