Yufka is a flatbread of Turkish cuisine. It has paper-thin consistency. Despite being so thin, it can hold onto the fillings. I made shawarma using yufka. It held on to fillings of the roll well and added a great taste and texture to it.

To prepare Yufka, you need to knead a dough out of flour, salt, and olive oil with warm water. Rest the dough for 4 hours at least. Make small balls out of the dough and rest them again for 15 minutes. Dust each ball and roll them using the rolling pin. Cook them in a pan and serve.
