Bakery - Fırın
|
|
Turks eat bread at every meal and love to buy their bread from fırın (bakery) while it is still warm. Although bakkals, markets, pastry shops sell many kinds of bread wrapped in nylon bags, most locals prefer to buy the fresh bread that has come directly from the bakery. Recently the bread produced by Metropol Municipalities is sold at the Halk Ekmek booths that tend to be located near neighborhood bus stops. These breads are normal loaves but are subsidized and cheaper to buy.
Especially during Ramazan you are will see long queues for pide near İftar time. We suggest you to spread butter on this warm pide and sprinkle some salt and pepper over it... it is absolutely delicious.
The bakers are usually from the Black Sea region and therefore naturally they bake
the best corn bread. Moreover most well-known pastry shops
offer various kinds of bread such as
multi-cereal, olive, walnut in different forms.
Your kapıcı will sure give you address of the nearest bakery.
