What is Hatay-style pepper bread?
Hatay-style pepper bread is a thin flatbread from Hatay, in southern Turkey, topped with a vivid red mixture of pepper paste, olive oil and regional seasonings. Sesame seeds and fine herbs often dot the surface. Baking leaves the edges lightly crisp while the middle stays tender, with a savoury pepper flavour that can have a gentle heat.
In its home region, it is commonly eaten warm for breakfast, as a snack or alongside tea; it also makes an easy shareable addition to a casual meal. The bread provides most of its energy as carbohydrates, while the olive-oil topping adds some fat. Pair it with fresh vegetables or a salad for a lighter meal, or serve it with yoghurt or ayran.
