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.
