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.
👨🍳 Chef's Culinary Notes
Cultural Heritage
Kulaç Soda Bread carries a rich culinary tradition rooted in regional home cooking. Developed over generations, the recipe highlights wholesome local ingredients prepared with time-honored kitchen techniques.
Dietary Substitutions
If using instant dry yeast instead of active dry yeast, you can mix it directly into the dry ingredients without proofing first, reducing wait time by 15 minutes.
Chef Technique Tips
Always ensure liquids used to activate the yeast are comfortably lukewarm (around 38°C–42°C / 100°F–108°F); liquid that is too hot will kill the yeast, while cold liquid delays proofing. Keep the dough in a warm, draft-free spot to rise.
