About Chorek

Mrs Mahiya’s Turkmen chorek follows the bread she associates with clay-oven cooking in Turkmenistan. Her household version uses a hot pizza stone in a gas oven, with butter inserted during the dough preparation.

Salt seasons the dough and butter adds a dairy element. The recipe keeps its flavour centred on the bread itself, with no separate sweet or spiced filling.

The dough is shaped into a loaf and its surface is moistened before baking. A further light water drizzle and a towel cover finish the baked bread, following the author’s household presentation.
