Kıtma is a traditional flatbread made from dough and cooked on a hot cooking surface, such as a griddle or pan. Recipes vary in thickness and in whether the dough is leavened.
To make Kıtma, mix flour, water, and salt into a dough, knead it, and roll it out. Cook each piece on a preheated griddle or heavy pan, turning it until both sides are done.
Kıtma is served as a bread alongside soups, bean dishes, and meat-based meals. You can also serve it warm with cheese or other breakfast foods, or use it to scoop up sauces.
Yes, you can use Kıtma as a wrap if the piece is thin and flexible. Warm it briefly first, then add fillings such as cheese, vegetables, or cooked meat and fold it while pliable.
No, Kıtma and lavash are not necessarily the same bread. Both are flatbreads, but their dough, thickness, and cooking traditions can differ; Kıtma may be thicker and less flexible than thin lavash.
Kıtma turns hard when it loses moisture, often because it is overcooked or left uncovered. Keep freshly cooked pieces under a clean cloth, then store them in a sealed container once cool.
Store Kıtma after it has cooled, sealed in a bag or airtight container. Keep it at room temperature for short-term use, or freeze it if you want to save it for longer.
Yes, Kıtma freezes well. Separate the pieces with baking paper, seal them in a freezer-safe bag, and thaw only what you need; a brief warm-up in a pan restores some softness.
Warm Kıtma briefly in a covered pan over low heat, or wrap it in a slightly damp cloth before reheating. Avoid prolonged direct heat, which can dry out the thin bread.
People with diabetes can eat Kıtma, but its carbohydrates can raise blood glucose. Keep the portion consistent with your meal plan and pair it with foods such as vegetables and protein; a dietitian can help tailor portions.

Kıtma is a traditional bread from Turkic culinary traditions, generally made from a simple flour-and-water dough and cooked on a hot griddle or in a pan. Its thickness and preparation vary by region, but it is commonly served as a staple alongside meals.
The crust may be lightly browned, while the inside stays soft or pleasantly chewy. Try it with soup, stews, or savoury breakfast foods; it also works well for scooping up dips and sauces. Kıtma is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with a modest amount of fibre. For a more balanced meal, pair it with eggs, beans, yoghurt, or plenty of fresh vegetables.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
