Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the warm milk, warm water, and egg, and make a fluid batter with the consistency of boza.
Cover the bowl and let the batter rise for 40 minutes, until bubbles appear.
Heat a pan over medium heat and wipe the surface with a thin layer of vegetable oil.
Pour in one ladle of batter, tilt the pan into a thin circle, and cook the first side for 2 minutes.
Turn the cizleme, cook the second side for 1 minute, and finish the remaining batter the same way.
Serve the hot cizleme with white cheese and tomatoes.
💡 Tip: Stir the ladle through the batter before each pour; if the flour settles, the last cizleme will be thick.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cizleme on a breakfast tray with white cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, and optional honey or grape molasses.
