Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for No-Oven Turkish Bread
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle instant yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.
  2. Stir in the all-purpose flour and salt using a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the shaggy dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  5. Gently punch down the dough, divide into 6 equal pieces, shape into balls, and flatten each into a round disc about 18 cm in diameter.
  6. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each round for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  7. Brush the freshly cooked Turkish Bread with melted butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
