Mısır ekmeği

Mısır ekmeği is a savory Turkish cornbread that is especially popular in the Black Sea region of the country. Its texture is usually hard and dry because it is prepared without a raising agent. The bread can be shaped into circles, tubes, oblongs, or plaits.


Cheese, dill, sesame, poppy, and nigella seeds can all be added to the dough in order to enhance the flavors. A specialty of the region is cornbread with sardines, which are traditionally baked in the dough. If made this way, the bread is typically consumed with yogurt as a full meal.


Mısır ekmeği is usually sliced into small pieces or broken in chunks, preferably with some butter, cheese, fruit jams, dips, or sauces on the side.
