Pishme
Also known as: Pişme
Small Turkmen diamond-shaped fried breads made from a lightly sweet yeast dough.
About Pishme
Pishme are traditional Turkmen fried breads served with green tea during celebrations, particularly weddings and baby showers. This profile fixes One Turkmen Kitchen's water-dough version.
The yeast dough is only lightly sweet, with salt keeping the flavour balanced. Frying gives each piece a rich toasted note while the interior remains mild and bread-like.
Pishme are small golden diamond shapes with softly puffed centres and lightly crisp edges. Their crumb is airy and tender rather than cake-like.
