Quarter bazlama is a quarter-sized portion of bazlama, a soft, thick Turkish flatbread traditionally cooked on a griddle. “Quarter” describes the serving size rather than a separate style of bread.
Quarter bazlama is usually thicker and softer than pita, and it is traditionally cooked on a griddle. Pita is often baked and may form a pocket. Quarter bazlama is simply a portion of the larger flatbread, not a pocket-bread variety.
Warm quarter bazlama in a covered pan over low to medium heat, turning it once. The lid helps retain moisture. For an oven, wrap the bread in foil and heat it briefly; direct, prolonged heat can make it tough.
Yes, quarter bazlama freezes well. Wrap each piece separately or place parchment between pieces, then seal them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw at room temperature and warm it in a pan to soften the bread before serving.
Quarter bazlama pairs well with Turkish breakfast foods such as cheese, olives and eggs, or with soups and stews. Its soft, thick texture also makes it useful for scooping up dips or sauces.
Yes, quarter bazlama can make a filling small sandwich. Warm it first, then carefully split it from the side and add your filling. Avoid overstuffing it, since the thick bread can tear when opened too widely.
Quarter bazlama is made from bazlama dough, commonly prepared with flour, water, yeast and salt. The dough is left to rise, shaped into thick rounds and cooked on a griddle before the finished bread is divided into portions.
Make bazlama dough, let it rise, shape it into thick rounds and cook each round on a hot pan until cooked through on both sides. Cut the finished bazlama into four portions; the quarter is cut from the bread rather than made as a separate dough.
Keep quarter bazlama in a sealed bag or airtight container at room temperature once it has cooled. Sealing it while warm traps steam and can make it gummy. Freeze pieces you will not eat within a few days.
People with diabetes can include quarter bazlama in a meal, but it may raise blood sugar because it is bread. Pairing it with protein and vegetables can make the meal more balanced; follow your own meal plan or ask your dietitian for individual guidance.

Quarter bazlama is a quarter portion of bazlama, a thick, soft Turkish flatbread made from yeasted dough and traditionally cooked on a griddle or in a pan. Its interior is airy and tender, with a lightly browned outside and a mild, bready flavour. In Turkey, it can be served at breakfast with cheese, olives, eggs or tomatoes, alongside tea, or as an accompaniment to soup and home-cooked dishes. Warm it briefly to bring back its softness, or split it and fill it like a sandwich.
It is mainly a carbohydrate source, with some protein and fibre; 100 g provides 46 g of carbohydrate. Pairing a piece with eggs, cheese, yoghurt or vegetables makes for a more rounded meal. If you are keeping an eye on portions, count it alongside any other bread you serve.
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.
