Kulaç Soda Bread

1

Prepare

On a large baking tray or a clean work surface, mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda and salt.

2

Make a well in the middle and add the yogurt. Using your hands slowly combined the ingredients together to start to form a dough.

3

Kneed the dough on a floured surface, adding extra flour if you find the texture too sticky. The dough is ready when it is of a pizza dough texture and still very slightly sticky, this should only take a few minutes.

4

On a baking tray add a little oil and put the dough on top. Shape and flatten the dough into a circle shape ensuring the height of the dough is about 5cm.

5

Cover the dough with a little bit of olive oil, ensure it is fully covered.

6

You can bake the Kulaç as it is or you can create patterns which also helps with even cooking. The most common patterns are using the back of a fork to slightly press down to create line dents all over or spiking the dough with the fork.

7

Baking

Place on the bottom shelf of a pre heated oven. Bake for 40 minutes or until the dough is golden and firm to touch.

8

Cooling

Once removed from the oven, stand upright or place on a cooling rack to allow the Kulaç to cool.

9

Serving

Cut the Kulaç the way you would a cake into 8 slices. If you are serving warm you may want to snap and pull apart the bread with your hands instead.
