Cizleme is one of the traditional yeast pancakes of Thracian cuisine. The delicacy, which is widely made around Tekirdağ, Kırklareli and Edirne, is frequently preferred for breakfast with its thin, light and fluffy texture. Cizleme consists of dough prepared with flour, milk, water, yeast and salt and is baked in the form of thin crepes.

In short, we have prepared a recipe for you whose name changes depending on the region, but whose taste and place in our minds during our childhood remain the same. We have cooked the cizleme recipe, also known as akıtma or yeast crepe, in its most classic form. If you wish, you can consume it plain or prepare it sweet or salty.

When it becomes light, we start adding the flour by sifting it (we can also add salt at this stage). As we add the flour, we beat it with a mixer or a whisk and gradually add warm water according to the consistency, so that we can obtain a homogeneous, viscous mixture.

When it reaches the consistency of boza, we wrap it tightly with a clean kitchen cloth and leave it to rest for the second fermentation in a warm place where it will not get cold.

When it bubbles up, we spread it on a non-greased crepe pan using a ladle and cook it on one side. The surface will remain clear and white.
