Homemade Turkish Traditional Pastry Açma Recipe | Fluffy & Delicious



Ready for some delicious Turkish soft bagels? From chocolate-filled to olive-studded or just a classic plain, these fluffy breads are a taste of Turkish comfort in every bite. Easy to make and even easier to love, these amazing pastries are waiting for you!

AÇMA
1 cup lukewarm water,250 ml
1 tablespoon yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
500 g flour (about 3 cups and 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
Egg yolk (for egg wash)
Black cumin seeds (for topping)

Fillings
Olive paste
black Olives
Chocolate spread

In a bowl, mix lukewarm water with yeast and sugar. Stir the mixture well and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. This will activate the yeast and make the dough rise faster.
In a large mixing bowl, sift flour and add salt. Stir the dry ingredients together and make a well in the center.
Pour the yeast mixture into the well, along with olive oil and butter (cut into small pieces for easier kneading). Using a spatula, start mixing everything together until all the flour is moistened.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. The dough should be slightly stiff but will soften after rising.
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Do not shape them into balls to prevent them from becoming too tight and hard to roll.
For Plain Açma, take one portion of dough and roll it out into a 25 cm strip. Twist the ends in opposite directions, then shape it into a circle, pinching the ends together.
For Olive-Filled Açma, roll out one piece of dough, spread olive paste and black olives down the center, and fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges. Twist the ends as with the plain açma.
For Chocolate Açma, follow the same method as the olive açma but use chocolate spread as the filling.
Place the shaped açma on a lined baking tray, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Mix egg yolk with a tablespoon of water and brush it over the açma. Sprinkle black cumin seeds on the plain and olive açma, and almonds or other toppings for the chocolate version.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes until golden brown. The outside should be crispy, while the inside remains soft and fluffy.

    Burak, thank you for this easy recipe to create extra yummy açma; these will be a part of my family's weekend brunches for sure. Also good to note that you may choose a favourite every every of the week, why choose only ONE! 😁🥐🥯

    Loved the video. It's so intriguing.
    If I wanted to make cheese açma, then which type would be preferable? I am avoiding any processed cheese at this moment for health issues. We have our native cheese called Ashtogram Cheese (or Dhakai Cheese) here which is a white, salty, semi-hard indigenous cheese. Will that work for cheese açma?

    Will give this a try! Looks great! By chance do you have a recipe that uses dough like this but filled with a meat stuffing? I looked but may have missed it. Thanks!

    I just made these today – they are delicious, and surprisingly not difficult. I'm pretty sure they would make incredible garlic bread, and maybe next time I'll experiment with that. But they are so good the way they are…

    This looks so good! I’m going to make some olive paste (we cannot buy such a thing where I live) and try them!

  15. @Cayenne1990

    Made them last week and soooo glad I did! We tried the plain and olive ones and I had to limit my husband to how many he could have in a day. ❤

    Your lunch recipes video tempted me over here, because we are nearly out of bread and homemade is healthier.

  18. @Rare-Jewels99

    They look delicious. I have bread flour in my kitchen cupboard and i have been wondering what to make out of it other than bread & Lahmacun as i have already done them – now i know 😄

  23. @biendereviere

    These look so yummy! The only problem for me is that I am gluten intolerant 😢 How can I make these gluten free?

  26. @gjylijesylejmani5819

    I enjoy a lot watching this channel and Burak I learned to bake burek from your lessons.I wish a lot of succes to your team.Thank you Burak for these acma😊😊😊

  27. @korhan-charlotte9171

    They look delicious. My favourite is the one with olive. Feta cheese would be good in there too. Thanks for sharing. Much love. Cheers 🍻

    I love acma so much! I dont dare to eat it very often because i fear to put on weight. It is so delicious and irresistible!😜😜

    It is anything but not Turkish croissant. Viyanadaki yenilgimizi kutlamak için yaptıkları şeyin adını açmamıza bulamazsanız seviniriz.
