Kayseri Yağlaması

Ok, let’s make “Kayseri Yağlaması”, a beautifully layered flatbread (“Bidda” in Turkish-Cypriot dialect, “lavaş” in Turkish) and mince dish from Kayseri in Türkiye. My “bidda” recipe makes 16, but this recipe only calls for 9 “Bidda” so wrap up the other 7 and freeze them for another day!   Kayseri Yağlaması  For the bidda:  200ml lukewarm water  125ml lukewarm milk 1 tsp caster sugar  1 sachet instant dry yeast (7g) 500g strong white bread flour  1 tsp salt  1 tbsp olive oil To make the Bidda, click here: Meliz’s Bidda Recipe   For the mince filling:  2 tbsp olive oil  1 large onion, very finely diced  1 tsp sea salt  1 medium kapya / romano / pointed red pepper, finely diced 1 green carliston pepper, finely diced  1 sivri biber (spicy green pepper), finely diced (optional)  500g beef or lamb mince  2 tbsp tomato puree  1 tbsp biber salçası “”tatlı” mild / sweet or “acı” hot if you prefer it with a kick)...
