For the pide with kofte, • Set the oven to 250 C (482 F) on grill mode. • Cut in half a bazlama bread and spread a teaspoon butter onto it. Put a handful of grated kasar cheese on top and leave some room at the sides other wise when the cheese melt can pour from the sides. You can use any kind of melting young cheese instead of kasar, if don’t have any. • Put 2 koftes in pieces on top the kasar. You can use minced meat with herbs, chorizo, sucuk, pastrami, bacon or any kind of meat of your choice instead of kofte. • Put a little more cheese on top. • Put the pide on a wire rack and place it to the second shelf of the oven from top and cook around 5 minutes. For a vegetarian version of the pide; • Set the oven to 250 C(482 F) on grill mode. • Thinly slice 8 mushrooms, 3 stems of spring onion, 3 cloves of garlic, 4-5 stems of coriander. • Mix the mushroom with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Add sliced spring onion, coriander and garlic. • Put a handful of grated kasar cheese on top. • Put a handful of the mushroom mixture on top of the cheese. • Put the pide on a wire rack and place it to the second shelf of the oven from top and cook around 5 minutes. Grandma Kofte recipe, ½ kg (1,1 lbs) minced meat (plate, rib or brisket) 3 heaping tablespoons bread crumb 3 little onions A tablespoon yogurt or 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar 1 egg 2 tablespoons olive oil 15-20 stems of parsley 1,5 teaspoons black pepper 1,5 teaspoons salt 1,5 tablespoons cumin A tablespoon coriander seed A teaspoon red pepper flakes Half teaspoon cinnamon
· Grate 3 onions or use food processor for it. Make sure that onions are not pureed. Small pieces will be perfect. Puree makes kofte mixture too loose. So it can stick to your pan. · Mix ½ kg of minced meat, onions, 1 egg, 3 heaping tablespoons of bread crumb, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of yogurt; you can use 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar instead of yogurt in a large bowl. Yogurt, vinegar or any acid helps to tenderize the meat. · Add 1,5 teaspoons of black pepper, 1,5 teaspoons of salt, 1,5 tablespoons of cumin, 1 tablespoon of coriander seed, 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and half teaspoon of cinnamon. · Knead the mixture around 7-8 minutes until the meat and spices are mixed very well. · Add finely sliced 15-20 stems of parsley and keep kneading a bit more. · Cook a small ball of kofte to taste; if it needs, add more salt or spice according to your taste. · Divide the kofte mixture into 15-20 balls and press them to flatten. If you want, you can make other shapes as well. Press them between your palms and fingers of your both hands. Be sure that they are not loose. If they are loose, it will be hard to cook. You can add a little more breadcrumb to make the mixture less sticky. · Put a cast iron pan on medium heat. When the pan is hot, place the koftes in to the pan. · Don’t flip the koftes before one side is cooked, otherwise they can stick to the pan and fall apart. When they are cooked, it will be easier to flip them. A couple of minutes will be enough to cook each side of the koftes. · Rest the koftes for another couple of minutes before eating. Voila! You are ready to eat Turkish grandma kofte!
Thanks it was great! Could you teach us the other types of bread a well? I'd love to make the chickpea leavened kumru bread and other non wheat bread! I checked your playlist but you don't have one for bread so can you give the link if you have done it already? AND the normal Turkish bread, Thanks!!!! 😋
This mini pizzas at the end look sooo good. I can't decide which one looks better! when i get my home I will make sure to try your recipes. In my current living condition I am not allowed to use the kitchen fully.
I sat down with my morning coffee and iPad, looking for a Turkish bread to make... I found you, and 5 videos in, I can’t stop watching. I love your enthusiasm, your energy and your charisma… I am definitely a new subscriber! You are awesome! 😬👍💯
I want to visit Turkey and just try all the food... Turkish food is just another level and generally not as appreciated as it should be.. people talk about Italian and French cuisine but Turkish food is also amazing...
My friend & I, we had planned to visit Istanbul this October but with Covid-19 spoiled our plans. Not to worry the trip is only postponed not cancelled.
I can't believe I just made my first Bazlama ever. It was super easy. Thank you Refika 💞 Anyone who wants to make some real Turkish food, you should follow Refika.
Amazing recipe! I made a Turkish friend recently and started trying to make some Turkish foods, all have been great so far! Thank you for bringing me closer to my friend!!
We just tried this recipe tonight, the vegetarian version, and it was DE-LI-CIOUS !! We're following you from Costa Rica, thank you so much for making these videos and sharing all this beautiful Turkish gastronomy with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I like your videos, and I love you too because you teach simple ways of cooking. I'm a vegetarian, and you dont use eggs, that's a plus point. I hope you've got pita bread recipe, because your first video I watched was of Hummus. I like your culture and the food. Thanks to both of you lovely girls. And if we can do baking in rice cooker, please let me know because I don't have a microwave or an oven. I want to try rice cooker for baking.
Her videonuzda sizin, ekibinizin ve bu güzelliğin bizlere gelmesine yararı dokunan herkesin vizyonuna hayran oluyorum. Mesela bu videoda insanlar sadece bazlama tarifi alacağını düşünürken Türk mutfağına has unlu mamülleri öğreniyorlar. Milliyetçiliği bu tarzda sürdürmek şahane. Dediğiniz gibi bir gün Amerikalı bir erkek kız arkadaşına sürpriz yapmak için lahmacun yapacak ve bunun öncüsü de siz olacaksınız. İyi çalışmalar! ❣️
I just ate breakfast but now I’m hungry again. I use cracked pepper corn and coarse salt at the bottom of my pan when I make a grilled cheese sandwich. I love easy bread and I will definitely make this in the near future. Thank you for this delightful video, very charming.
I m very proud of you Refika as Turkish who lives abroad. Your English is really good and your cooking is phenomenal. Very simple, practical and delicious. Your are a great Turkish culture ambassador. From my family to you, thank you!
This is wonderful. Is there a cookbook about Turkish breads available in English that you can recommend? I live in the U.S. and I’d love to bring a taste of Turkey into my home.
I made this tonight, served with Refika's best Hummus, with extra freshly squeezed lemon juice. I gave them to my children and my sister, and we were all so happy, sitting in our warm kitchen eating Refika's delicious foods! So thank you, thank you from our family in Australia.
I thought I was the only one who put salt and pepper on freshly baked and buttered bread! I haven't made bread in a while, but you've inspired me with this great recipe! Nice to see your family too. Your mom is beautiful!
I've watched so many cooks/chefs on UA-cam and you are my favorite, not only for your food, but also for presentation, personality and extra information. Thank you very much.
I am from Iran and live in Europe. Your videos gives me a feeling that already I am in home land. So, you have a great personality and are genuine. Peace ans Light
I love the casual and yet informative style of your videos. Also love how you add footage of the place you are. It's very beautiful there. Keep up with the great videos :)
I am so happy to have found you, Refika! I have told all of my friends who love cooking to watch your channel. After watching your channel, I so want to come to Turkey and eat!! You and your team seem like really lovely people - not only do you share amazing recipes, but you are all a great way to let the rest of the world know about the best of Turkey! Thank you!
I have to say that I have been watching food channels on UA-cam and TV, but yours is the only one that makes me hungry. I love how authentic, natural, and funny you are. I feel like you are my sister or a family member. Behar is so cute🥰! Your videos actually made me realize how much we miss authenticity, simplicity and hospitality in some parts of the world. Thank you for being you. I am definitely coming to turkey 🇹🇷.
The interior texture of the bazlama bread reminds me almost of an American biscuit (which is about one-third the size of the bazlama), which I've recently learned is similar to Australian damper bread. The difference is that the American biscuit and the Australian damper bread are both quick-breads, instead of yeast breads; plus, damper bread is often made as a small loaf, equivalent to about 5 or 6 American biscuits. Damper bread (shown in the second half of the video, with recipe and instructions): ua-cam.com/video/-IP4iuWSFOM/v-deo.html
I made my first ever bread yesterday with some dry thyme (I extracted some thyme flavor in olive oil and water because dry thyme didn't give taste in bread before when we tried with my mom) and it was very good. We all loved it. Ate it with the first tomato sauce I have ever made and the sauce was also delicious.
I think you have just solved my answer to "how to make mini pizzas that are still special, when you don't want to go get English muffins". Basically how you make pide is how my husband and I top English muffins for homemade but quick meals:) Thank you for this! Now, to figure out how to make this gluten-free for my dinner, since I can't have the gluten:D
I am absolutely at a loss as to how 100 people disliked the fantastic video! It made me want to fly to Anatolia and try all those beautiful breads. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I love Turkish food ❤️ and I think it’s one of the best cuisines in the world, definitely needs to be recognised more. Your channel is absolutely amazing Refika, love watching you & the way you explain things. God bless & thank you 🙏🏽 😊
Sometimes I hope UA-cam had 1 to 5 stars ranking so I can place more stars to a video like yours. Have seen the video three times. Love your channel, your recipes. Hi from the Caribbean. Hola desde el Caribe.
Thank you Rafika,I love Turkish cuisine. The bread looks amazing, can't wait to try it! Love your channel with your happy and positive personality. Many greetings from Canada!
@@jrt1776 you may not familiar with turkish people well 'cause we turkish people look much like refika, her mother and bahar. Most people dont know our country and assume that turkish people look like arabic, syrian, or other middle east people. But we much more close to mediteranean look :) best regards...
Hi Refika...thank you for very interesting recepies and a great introduction to amazing Turkish cuisine. Just two comments...yeasts are not bacteria...they are Fungi and although they are used in sourdough fermentations with bacteria, you used Saccharomyces cerevisiae...bread yeast (this is not just semantics...they differ in so many things). Another thing is the usage of stainless steel in the kitchen...it has no negative effect on yeast since we use it in food preparation and storage as well.
When I visited Istanbul 15 years ago I fell in love with Manti. I have never forgotten that dish, but I haven’t seen it since. Do you have a recipe for that?
Great stuff! I cooked bazlama on two occasions already and I am so happy with it. 1. It's so easy and fast to make it. It eliminates tje biggest problem of breads - time 2. My gf is Turkish (we don't live there), so I can bring her a little bit of home feel :)
We love your channel! My daughter had to come back early from her semester abroad, and has been heartbroken. She cannot wait to go back to Turkey. She loves the food and has been learning to cook things little by little. We can’t wait to try some of your recipes!
So far all l can say there must have been a great deal of TURKISH OR KURDISTAN WHO WERE TAKEN TO MY ISLAND JAMAICA BECAUSE BECAUSE WE ARE THE LAND OF BREAD AND MANY OF YOUR WORDS ARE THERE IN OUR INDEGINOUS LANGUAGE PATWAH ESPECIALLY IN THE COUNTRY SIDE OF JAMAICA. GOD BLESS FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND HELPING ME TO KNOW WHO SOME OF MY ANCESTORS WERE.
Hi. I just wanted to say that I’ve been trying out your recipes. I’ve really enjoyed them. They remind me of Istambul. I’ve visited twice and completely love the city. Say hello to your city from me in Lahore, Pakistan :)
Thank you so much for this video! I will make this bread next week, it looks delicious! I would love to see more Turkish bread recipes from you guys :)
Bazlama looks great, may your hands be healthy Refika😄😄 ı would have dipped it in olive oil and sprinkle thyme, red pepper flakes and salt on it. Delicious❤️❤️❤️
Refika I have watched every video you have and this by far is the best. You are genuine and your love for food is so evident. Congratulations to your team and keep up the great work. Eline saglik
I have Never been to Turkey from your videos I can see the beauty of the city. Thank you for sharing with US this delicious Recipe. Today I learned something new 'the butter, andSALT and pepper😋.I am very New to your chenal😁I like the way you cooking and easy way of explain.🌹👍
I found your channel a few days ago looking for hummus recipes and i've been binge watching ever since. I heard about the earthquake near Greece and tsunami that followed, Praying for you and your family's safety. Love and light 💕
I made this twice and every one at home absolutely loves it. I did add wheat flour the 2nd time around though and it turned out excellent. Thanks so much. Love love your videos. Going to try the cream cheese one next.
When I make USA hummus I use seseme seeds I can chickpeas few drops of seseme oil and garlic in the blender. Every one likes it. Not authentic. But for working mom it works. Better then store bought. A little lemon. Love your program.......learning alot. I am a totally non Turkish cook.
Hello:) I just discovered you today and can't stop watching. I recently took over my mother's restaurant and am excited to add new menu items. You're inspiring! I'm living in Grants Pass Oregon USA although I am from Southern California. I am Vegan and love that you include vegan options:) The restaurant is flexitarian with comfort foods like Mac N Cheese made with white wine, heavy cream and 4 white cheeses. Thank you again! Excited to have found you and your channel.
Sayin Rifka. I made it morning for the boys breakfast . I put a piece in my son’s mouth who would leave his PS game. His reaction was priceless. Çok tesekur edderim.
I went to İstanbul twice. I can't tell you how much i love Turkey and its people, very friendly, welcomed us open heartedly. Most of all i love thr food and you literally takes me back thr. And u r so real, i literally enjoy watching ur channel.
Made these for breakfast yesterday morning, so easy and so tasty. They reminded me of northern Irish breakfast bread, soda farl until I tasted them but they went down a treat. I made them with some kefir & milk and no water, Absolutly lovely also with lots of butter salt and pepper just as you said. I think these will be a weekly thing in my house, as there so quick and easy, thank you for bringing the fun back into cooking for me 🍀
Ingilizce kanal icin tesekkurler. Esim turkce bilmiyor sizin videolari turkce izliyorduk bir yandan tercume etmeye calisiyordum detaylari, tercumeden kurtardiniz beni :)

thank you for kofte recipe! Can it be cooked on a grill? Or is there other recipe for grilled variety?
@@mapycia must be different. in my country we don't put onion in the grilled ones. but Refika is the boss ;) ...

Dear Hasaan, I totally agree 😍😍
I wish the same.
My friend & I, we had planned to visit Istanbul this October but with Covid-19 spoiled our plans. Not to worry the trip is only postponed not cancelled.
I would happily and healthily live a long life on Turkish food 😊 Thankfully they shared it with the world!
Agreed! Best food I ever had was in Turkey! Everything is delicious and people are friendly. I love Turkey.
This is quickly becoming my new favorite food content on Netflix.
Edit: UA-cam. I'm a dummy.
Wait, she's on Netflix?!?
Great
on youtube you mean
LOL

Thank you Refika, an honour to make your recipes🙏🏼
I think I just found my new favorite cooking channel! Much love from Germany 💕
it is so nice to hear 😍
I just ate breakfast but now I’m hungry again. I use cracked pepper corn and coarse salt at the bottom of my pan when I make a grilled cheese sandwich. I love easy bread and I will definitely make this in the near future. Thank you for this delightful video, very charming.

This is wonderful. Is there a cookbook about Turkish breads available in English that you can recommend? I live in the U.S. and I’d love to bring a taste of Turkey into my home.
My kind of bread!!! I’ll be making it tomorrow. I’ll add a little whole grain rye flour to my white for a little more fiber and nutrition.Thank you!!!
I love your channel! My girlfriend is Turkish and you have the Best cuisine which I have been learning. Thanks so much! With love from Canada :)
so happy to hear 😍
Maybe make this one for her as a suprise?
Refika's Kitchen I made her your Menemen recipe for breakfast instead :) This is next! Elinize Salik
Wow. Didn't know Turkey has so many different breads. Want to visit Turkey now! 😍
I made this tonight, served with Refika's best Hummus, with extra freshly squeezed lemon juice. I gave them to my children and my sister, and we were all so happy, sitting in our warm kitchen eating Refika's delicious foods! So thank you, thank you from our family in Australia.
You have a new subscriber from Pakistan 🇵🇰 Love ❤️ Respect for Turkish cuisine.
Am I the only one who watches this video during Ramadan. I love this video as usual😀
We out here torturing ourselves my dude!🤣🤣
I don't have any religious reasons to fast, but I'm on a pretty strict diet and am here torturing myself with you.
To watch all of this beautiful food during Ramazan, is masochistic. 😉
I thought I was the only one who put salt and pepper on freshly baked and buttered bread! I haven't made bread in a while, but you've inspired me with this great recipe! Nice to see your family too. Your mom is beautiful!
thank you so much 😍😍
Refika's Kitchen My pleasure. I have always believed that a person's real beauty is in the face. You and yours have nice faces.
I've watched so many cooks/chefs on UA-cam and you are my favorite, not only for your food, but also for presentation, personality and extra information. Thank you very much.
As a lazy person, I must say this is very easy!
We made it! It was lovely! My son was jumping up and down with so much enthusiasm lol. Thanks for bringing so much happiness to him ♡
I never considered putting pepper in addition to salt and butter. Will definitely try this sometime!
Seeing her making these breads makes me craving for Turkish cuisine.
I am from Iran and live in Europe. Your videos gives me a feeling that already I am in home land. So, you have a great personality and are genuine. Peace ans Light
I love the casual and yet informative style of your videos. Also love how you add footage of the place you are. It's very beautiful there. Keep up with the great videos :)

I only found your channel yesterday, but now I'm craving pide and Bazlama and Lahmacun and EVERYTHING ... it just looks soooo delicious!
I watched your TV show here on a local cooking TV.

I noticed too but maybe it's a translation error maybe she wanted to say micro-organisms or something similar to that
Boom, proper hangover food. Great stuff girls.
2:47 she’s so adorable when she forgot the salt 🥰

We love your channel! My daughter had to come back early from her semester abroad, and has been heartbroken. She cannot wait to go back to Turkey. She loves the food and has been learning to cook things little by little. We can’t wait to try some of your recipes!
Oooo you should suprise her with one of the recapies from here
Looove the way you speak and your enthusiasm!! Great recipes thank you!!👏👏👏🌻💐
Hands down you are one of my favourite chefs and your team is just as amazing❤❤❤
So far all l can say there must have been a great deal of TURKISH OR KURDISTAN WHO WERE TAKEN TO MY ISLAND JAMAICA BECAUSE BECAUSE WE ARE THE LAND OF BREAD AND MANY OF YOUR WORDS ARE THERE IN OUR INDEGINOUS LANGUAGE PATWAH ESPECIALLY IN THE COUNTRY SIDE OF JAMAICA. GOD BLESS FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND HELPING ME TO KNOW WHO SOME OF MY ANCESTORS WERE.

Bazlama looks great, may your hands be healthy Refika😄😄 ı would have dipped it in olive oil and sprinkle thyme, red pepper flakes and salt on it. Delicious❤️❤️❤️

Woman. You are the real deal. Wow. Can you cook. Honour to watch you and learn. I am vegetarian. But still love watching. Amazing

I found your channel a few days ago looking for hummus recipes and i've been binge watching ever since. I heard about the earthquake near Greece and tsunami that followed, Praying for you and your family's safety. Love and light 💕
I made this twice and every one at home absolutely loves it. I did add wheat flour the 2nd time around though and it turned out excellent. Thanks so much. Love love your videos. Going to try the cream cheese one next.
When I make USA hummus I use seseme seeds I can chickpeas few drops of seseme oil and garlic in the blender. Every one likes it. Not authentic. But for working mom it works. Better then store bought. A little lemon. Love your program.......learning alot. I am a totally non Turkish cook.
Just tried this it was AMAZING!!! Thank you soo much Refika! Ellerine sağlık!!
Hello:) I just discovered you today and can't stop watching. I recently took over my mother's restaurant and am excited to add new menu items. You're inspiring!
I'm living in Grants Pass Oregon USA although I am from Southern California. I am Vegan and love that you include vegan options:) The restaurant is flexitarian with comfort foods like Mac N Cheese made with white wine, heavy cream and 4 white cheeses. Thank you again! Excited to have found you and your channel.
They seem very delicious. I'll try, thanks a lot ❤
Sayin Rifka. I made it morning for the boys breakfast . I put a piece in my son’s mouth who would leave his PS game. His reaction was priceless. Çok tesekur edderim.
I'll do this first in the morning! Thanks Refika!
I went to İstanbul twice. I can't tell you how much i love Turkey and its people, very friendly, welcomed us open heartedly. Most of all i love thr food and you literally takes me back thr. And u r so real, i literally enjoy watching ur channel.
Love this too!
Going for some Kofte recipes now.
Made these for breakfast yesterday morning, so easy and so tasty. They reminded me of northern Irish breakfast bread, soda farl until I tasted them but they went down a treat.
I made them with some kefir & milk and no water, Absolutly lovely also with lots of butter salt and pepper just as you said.
I think these will be a weekly thing in my house, as there so quick and easy, thank you for bringing the fun back into cooking for me 🍀
Great vid, subbed and liked. Definitely gonna view more - loved the vid with Alex.
Thank you and welcomeee
