Store leftover Islama bread in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it soon. Reheat it on a grill or in a pan so the outside regains some of its toasted texture.

What is Islama bread?
Islama bread is a regional Turkish specialty associated with Sakarya and Adapazarı, where it is commonly served with köfte. Slices of bread are dipped in hot, seasoned meat broth and grilled, giving them a savoury coating and a texture quite different from ordinary toast.
The outside is lightly crisp while the middle stays soft and absorbs the broth. It is typically eaten alongside grilled meatballs, often with grilled peppers or tomatoes. Islama bread is mainly a source of carbohydrates, while the meatballs make the meal more substantial. For a lighter plate, keep the bread and meatball portions modest and add a fresh salad.
