These yeasted Turkish savory buns are made with yogurt dough and filled with cooked spinach and Kashar cheese. Their lightly seasoned filling and soft texture bring color to breakfast and can be served warm or at room temperature.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Activate the yeast

10 min

Stir the fresh yeast and sugar into the lukewarm milk. Cover and let it stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.

2

Knead the dough

15 min

Add the flour, cooking oil, and salt to the yeast mixture, and knead into a soft dough that does not stick to your hands.

3

Proof the dough

45 min

Cover the dough and let it proof in a warm place until doubled in size.

4

Make the filling

10 min

Mix the drained spinach with the grated Kashar cheese and finely chopped onion.

5

Fill and shape the buns

15 min

Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into rounds. Place some filling in the center of each, seal the dough around it, and shape into buns.

6

Bake the buns

25 min

Brush the tops with egg yolk. Bake in an oven preheated to 190°C / 375°F until golden.

Reminder

Important: Drain and squeeze the spinach thoroughly before adding it to the filling; otherwise, it can make the dough wet and sticky. Allergens: Contains wheat (gluten), milk/dairy, and eggs. Do not oversalt the filling, since the Kashar cheese is already salty.

Herkes bayıldı diyor ama bende beklediğim tat çıkmadı. Bence tarif biraz fazla şekerli, herkese göre değişir tabii. Baharat miktarı bana ağır geldi, biraz azaltılabilir.

Tereyağı yerine zeytinyağı kullandım, yine de güzel oldu.
