Kulaç Soda Bread

Ingredients

• 3 3/4 cupsall-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading
• 2 cupsGreek yogurt
• 1/2 tspsalt
• 1 tspbaking soda
• 2 tbspolive oil, for the baking sheet and the top

Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 400°F. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl or directly on a baking sheet, then make a well in the center and add the yogurt.

2. 2

   Using your hands, slowly combine the ingredients until a dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for a few minutes, adding flour a little at a time if too sticky, until the dough is smooth and slightly tacky like pizza dough.

3. 3

   Oil a baking sheet and set the dough on it. Shape and flatten it into a round about 2 inches (5 cm) high, then brush the top generously with olive oil.

4. 4

   Score the top with the back of a fork (lines or dots) to help with even cooking.

5. 5

   Bake on the bottom shelf for about 40 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch. Cool it upright on a rack, then cut it into 8 wedges.
