Homemade Turkish Pita Bread for Kebabs, Tirnakli Pide

Описание: Tirnak pide or a.k.a. tirnakli pide is one of the most popular flatbreads often served with kebabs and traditional food in Turkey. Tirnakli pide takes its name from the notches on it, because these are made with fingertips, and "tirnak" means "finger nail" in Turkish.

Especially loved in the south and southeastern part of Anatolia, this flatbread is a must have if you love kebabs and other traditional Turkish and Middle Eastern food.
Tirnakli pide is usually served "under" the kebabs, such as legendary Adana kebab, Iskender kebab, to soak all the juices of the meat.
