Chickpea bread (Albanian: Qahi/Bukë me qiqra; Turkish: Nohut ekmeği) is a type of bread made from chickpea flour from Albania and Turkey. Notably, instead of regular yeast, a yeast found on chickpeas is used; this yeast is mixed with flour and water and left out overnight in a warm place. The next day, the dough is cut into pieces, placed on a tray and baked.[1] In Albania it is baked as dinner rolls.
In Manisa und in seiner Umgebung gibt es auch eine Art Brot, das nohut ekmegi heißt und aus mit Kicherbsen gemischtem Teig gebacken wird.
