This was a springtime breakfast with Zach. It dirties up a lot of dishes to have a Turkish-style breakfast, but it is definitely our favorite. Part of why we like them is because they are very relaxed, since we can only do Turkish breakfast when we both have the morning off.
We had cucumbers from our garden, tomatoes from the store, soft-boiled eggs, what appears to be hummus (maybe?), apple butter and strawberry jam, and some green-tomato pickles that seem to have plenty of turmeric in them. And, of course, Turkish tea. Zach was also making some "espresso" in our aeropress.
These eggs turned out pretty well. The bread we ate was baked in a crock pot, something I'd wanted to try for a while. The results were underwhelming. I used this method http://busymomsmenuplan.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-make-homemade-bread-in-crock-pot.html and whole wheat dough.
I remember looking at many different recipes to decide what to do, so I may have used a combination of methods. The idea is pretty simple: put dough in crock pot, cover, bake. It took quite a bit longer than the recipe said, and it was NEVER going to get a nice crisp crust like the pictures led me to believe. It still didn't look browned AT ALL at 3 hours, but I took it out anyway. The result was a heavy (whole wheat) bread that was fine, but nothing exciting. I will probably try again.
Anyway, I'm sure it was a lovely breakfast, and that we drank way too much Turkish tea, and I probably had a slight headache later from all the sugar.
