çler

Çler is a term used in the context of Turkish cuisine, particularly in the region of Anatolia. It refers to a type of flatbread that is often served as a side dish or accompaniment to various meals. The term "çler" is derived from the Turkish word "çörek," which means "bread" or "flatbread." This type of bread is typically made from a simple dough consisting of flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of salt. The dough is rolled out thinly and then cooked on a griddle or in a pan until it becomes crispy and golden brown.

Çler is often served warm and can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of toppings. Common accompaniments include olive oil, salt, and sometimes a sprinkle of sesame seeds. It is also frequently used as a base for other dishes, such as meze (small dishes) or as a side for soups and stews. The simplicity of çler makes it a versatile and popular choice in Turkish cuisine, reflecting the region's emphasis on fresh, simple ingredients.

In addition to its culinary uses, çler is also a staple in Turkish culture, often served at social gatherings, family meals, and celebrations. Its humble yet satisfying nature has made it a beloved part of Turkish gastronomy, enjoyed by people of all ages.
