What is “Ramazan pidesi”?
Evde çıtır ramazan pidesi tarifi adım adım
A2 Turkish listening practice · Standard Turkish · Picked for people who know a little
This recipe calls it the essential of the season: «Ramazan'ın olmazsa olmazı çıtır çıtır Ramazan pidesi» (“the must-have of Ramadan, crispy Ramazan pide”). Ramazan pidesi is a round, sesame-topped flatbread baked almost exclusively during Ramazan (Ramadan).
It’s a ritual as much as a food: in the holy month, Turks queue outside the fırın (bakery) near sunset to buy it fresh for iftar, the meal that breaks the fast. The phrase olmazsa olmaz (“the can’t-do-without,” literally “if it isn’t, it isn’t”) captures its status. Soft inside, crisp and dimpled on top, it tastes of Ramadan evenings.
