Pastry
Yufka is an unleavened dough prepared from flour, water, and salt and rolled out very thinly with a rolling pin. It is briefly cooked and dried on a griddle, or used fresh in börek and wraps. It is one of the staple dough products of Anatolian cuisine.
Where It's Used
“Prepare the börek by covering the phyllo with a damp cloth to keep it from drying out.”
