The Doner Kebab is Berlin’s most popular street food and in my opinion, one of the greatest sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. This is one I had to try and recreate at home.

It is disappointing Andong that you didn't know about vertical döner spits in Turkey? It only existed for over a hundred years.. It is literally in every street corner.... Horizontal spits is a different food altogether, which is cooked and served differently. Truly, there is 1 difference between döner in Turkey and Germany, and that is the quality of meat. Why do you think your sandwiches are smothered in strong tasting sauces in Germany? You cannot taste the meat at all. Your sauce's function is to mask the taste of the low-quality meat. I ate döner many times in my business trips in Germany, and it is really awful. Emulsified meat? That's just mystery meat (!) served in a sea of sauces. A good quality döner has an ideal balance of animal fats, charring from fire and soft textured protein. It doesn't require additional fats or smoke flavor that come from your sauces. I recommend you eat your Berlin döners without any sauce and to actually taste your meat, then try the same in İstanbul.. You will have your world rocked..

To get the same Airbubbles you just have to a) use an ofen that can spray water in to make steam b) heat the oven very hot and then take 1 cup of water and put it directly on the ground so it steams up or on an ofen plate and then put instantly the bread in c) let it rest for another 30 minutes after you formed it, so it will get much fluffier

@onkelbo7897 Жыл бұрын

Besides heat & water, the secret is to use just a tiny amount of yeast (1 sachet per Kg of flour), more salt (32g per Kg) and about 60% of water. Let the dough rest for 24h in the fridge (yes, no warm place). This ratio of ingredients + time is important to build the perfect gluten structure which is responsible for big air pockets aka the cloudiness.

When it comes to cooking in most cases the secret is: time. Let the yeast do its work. It's also way more digestible and therefore healthy.

Hello, important thing to notice is that especially in commercially made Pide bread they do not use egg wash but "bulamasi", which is basically yoghurt, egg, water and pekmez (grape molasses) which is then heated to combine and that is then generously brushed on the bread. The second part to get that commercial pide fluffiness and especially the longevity of it is adding both backing powder and maltodextrin after the resting period. Hope this helps

As a Turkish person who has eaten döner in Berlin I can confirm Turkish and German döners are very different. Forexample one pf the differences that wasn’t mentioned was that while pide döner isn’t unheard of in Turkey it is very rare. The bread is generally just normal bread (infact you order it as quarter/half/full bread to indicate your portion size) or even more commonly it is just a wrap.

To make the bread lighter and airier, you can try letting it ferment for longer. I'm not really a bread maker, but I make a lot of pizza at home. Whenever I ferment the bread for a week vs something like 24 hours, it always comes out lighter and with much larger air pockets.

There are basically 3 Meats you get Döner in Germany, most Restaurants have Veal and Chicken, but some of them also offer Lamb. I strongly recommend traditional Döner Kebab Spits made with layered Meat instead of the Minced Meat Spit and would recommend Lamb > Veal > Chicken. In Berlin you get them with additional roasted Veggies, but usually they are Meat, Sauce and Salat. If you go for Spicy Döner, make sure to try Ayran as a Drink as it goes really well and is a nice fresh Contrast. Funfact: The machine for spinning the Spits upright was also invented in Germany by a Greek Immigrant.

In Sweden, it's typically a yoghurt/mayo garlic sauce and/or a spicy red sauce, but there are so many variations. In the south, the sauce is some sort of pink mixed sauce and has a splash of Fanta in it.

@Merido Жыл бұрын

@@Neimonster I think a pinch of cumin and the fanta are the secret ingredients. I had to learn how to make it since going abroad, and if I had to make it from memory: Yoghurt/mayo mix - if there's any choice, a thicker yoghurt allows you to put in more liquids. Make the mix more on the yoghurt side to have it tasting more fresh than fatty. Sweeter kind of pickle juice - for the acid balance; add the pickles finely chopped if you want texture Coarsely ground pepper (quite a lot, you to see pepper throughout the sauce) Garlic - for the umami Cumin - just a pinch for an almost imperceptible background note Fanta - for a citrus note and sweetness to balance the flavours out The challenge (if any) is balancing the yoghurt, pickle juice, and fanta so you get the desired consistency without needing to add liquid which will affect the flavour. Absolutely delicious kebab sauce that can be varied. If you want to be cheeky then put a tiny bit of MSG in there to make the sauce ascend, and then make it more liquid and boom, it's an amazing salad dressing. God I love the Swedish kebab sauce.

Looking at the differences, my guess for "improving" the texture of home made pita bread (i.e. to get closer to the store bought one) would be to increase the amount of gluten formed to start with. So some crazy extra kneading or much longer autolyse times (without adding the salt at first). Also use the strongest flour you can find and/or add some extra gluten directly to the flour. That will increase that addictive "chew" while at the same time allowing the CO2 of the yeast to create bigger pockets of air, as the extra gluten network stretches better, leading to a fluffy yet chewy experience. Also let the bread rest a little longer after spreading it to the pan.

@@NarwhoI also japanese bread is made by adding hot milk into the flour, this allows to gelatinise the starches, the results are a more chewy and elastic bread, although it won’t have big pockets of air because the crumb will be denser. The closest thing that this type of bread reminded me are some types of focaccia that are typical in Puglia and other regions here in Italy.. It probably needs a stronger gluten development and a longer fermentation for the big air pockets and yeasty flavour, also some oil and/or milk to change the texture of the crumb and crust, otherwise it will be too similar to normal loaves of bread

I'm not a bread beaker, but I've been making pizza and bread at home for 6 years. You said you did one stretch and fold. Now a way to achieve a really airy bread with cavernous bubbles, also the chewy texture, is to overknead it. You should either put it into a stand mixer for 10-15 minutes or do like 4-5 s&f sessions to achieve this.

It's amazing how different berlin döner is from most döners in southern germany, for instance down here the bread is almost always either of that bun type like the third spot's or a super thin flatbread that is often freshly baked to order and wrapped like a burrito (this is called a dürüm döner), whereas the meat choices are almost exclusively veal and turkey. The sauces available are usually yogurt-tomato and yogurt-garlic, both loaded with tons of herbs, while the heat usually comes in the form of chili flakes. Also the sheer amount of sauce is on an entirely different level compared to berlin usually. Also I personally have not seen a single spot that didn't have red cabbage.

It’s really hard to find a good döner shop in Turkey nowadays because of the economy, but I still remember the excitement I felt back in the days when I was a child, waiting for my father to bring döner coming back from work, that taste was something from heavens. Over time they started to add more and more stuff to it like fries, veggies, sauces etc. to compensate for the ever increasing meat prices and to mask the taste of low quality meat. But when you’re eating döner, the meat should taste sooo good that you don’t even want to ruin it with sauces, only lettuce and onions beside the meat and maybe some tomato but that’s it.

Honestly, I was expecting exactly nothing, coming into this video. I have seen so many americans butcher my beloved Döner. But honestly: You nailed it. Great job, I am so copying the Chicken technique. :D Some little additions: What you experienced was the typical Berlin Döner (which I love). The other Döner hotspots in Germany are the Ruhr area, Frankfurt and Mannheim and there are some small differences. For example in the Rhine-Ruhr-Area (where I live) Feta on Döner is pretty standard, as is white AND red cabbage. Plus: Those are most likely slightly pickled. Another thing are the sauces. We have "Dönersoße" (which is a bit like Cocktaildressing), cacik (which is an herbal tzatziki) and joghurt (which is plain turkish joghurt). You can get hot sauce, but it's not this sweet sauce you made (which is pretty common in Berlin), but acili ezme, a traditional turkish chili paste. Honestly: I love to see those regional differences. Another advice: If you visit Germany again, try a "Türkische Pizza", which is a Lahmacun, but filled like a Döner Kebab. It's great.

If you're in Istanbul, it's also dirt cheap and varieties are endless compared to Eurppe. Just don't eat the cheapest ones, they're full of 'salo' type speck fat and in some places a bit disgusting, at least for my taste. Long traditions make for great and varied food, so it's not only Turkey who can claim this.

That herb sauce is also great for tortilla wraps. I have a wrap recipe with soft goat cheese, mango slices, arugula, red beets and some lemon juice. I always add that sauce and some crushed, spicy nacho chips. It's super delicious. The recipe I use for making the herb sauce is almost identical, but I also add some orange juice.

Only two sauces? When my Dönermann asks: "Mit alle Soße?", I say: "Ja bitte!"! I think this is the way he intended it to be, and it is glorious. Great video! :D

Greetings from Kreuzberg and Neukölln in Berlin! I really enjoyed this. I can get the bread on most any street corner, but it’s good to know how to do the rest at home.
