The Ramazan Pidesi or Pan Pide is round and rather flat, with a crisscross patterned crust and is traditionally served during meals in the holy month of Ramadan, accompanied by cold cuts, cheeses, or jam.
Ramazan pidesi is a Turkish bread made from wheat flour with yeast and seasoned with sesame and Nigella sativa (black cumin) and is characterized by a distinctive checkerboard decoration.
This year (2022) Ramadan – the fasting month in Islamic religion – is from April 2 to May 2, while Eid al Adha is from July 9 to July 13.
I wanted to include this bread in the menu dedicated to the Islamic Easter because it is a typical leavened bread of the Islamic community.
