Turkish baking art meets IZZO high-end oven technology
Things heated up in La Bottega Toscana – and in the best way possible: As part of a product test, we had the chance to showcase the versatility of the IZ oven. On the test bench were classic Turkish specialties like Peynirli Pide, Lahmacun, Simit, and Acma. The result? A complete success – both in taste and technique!
Crispiness meets Creaminess: Peynirli Pide
The elongated, boat-shaped Pide with cheese filling (Peynirli) were convincing across the board. The cream cheese from cow's milk developed a wonderfully creamy consistency in the IZ oven, framed by a wonderfully crispy crust. Thanks to the even heat distribution and the high top heat of the IZ oven, the dough turned out particularly airy and golden brown – just as it should be.
Lahmacun: The Fine Art of Turkish “Pizza”
Also a highlight: Lahmacun – the wafer-thin, spicy flatbread with a piquant minced meat-tomato-onion mixture. The challenge with this dish lies in balancing crispiness and juiciness – and that was precisely achieved by the accurate heat of the IZ oven. Served with lemon juice, fresh herbs, and enjoyed rolled up: a real treat!
Simit & Acma: Two Classics Perfectly Baked
No less convincing were the two breakfast classics Simit and Acma. The Simit – crispy on the outside with Pekmez and sesame, soft and airy inside – was a true star. Just like the fluffy Acma, which almost reminded of a brioche with its tender, slightly sweet crumb. Both pastries required different baking parameters, which could be precisely set in the IZ oven.
The IZ Oven: Versatility Perfected
The product test impressively demonstrated that the IZ oven can do far more than just pizza. Whether crispy or fluffy, thin or bulky – the oven delivers the desired baking properties precisely. With its even heat distribution, high-quality craftsmanship, and intuitive control, it is a true all-rounder for anyone who wants to prepare not only Italian but also international baked goods in perfection.
The test in La Bottega Toscana was a complete success – for the Turkish specialties we love and for the IZ oven, which once again proved what it can do. So, if you're looking for a powerful, precisely controllable oven for diverse applications, you should definitely consider the IZ oven.
