Katmer is a distinctive Gaziantep pastry made by placing walnuts and butter between thinly stretched dough and cooking it on a griddle. It is served hot, often with kaymak (Turkish clotted cream).

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead and rest the dough

15 min

Knead the flour, warm water, and salt into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

2

Stretch the dough thin

15 min

Divide the dough in half. Coat it with butter and stretch each piece by hand as thinly as possible, until nearly translucent.

3

Fill and fold

5 min

Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over one sheet of dough and cover with the other. Fold the edges inward to seal.

4

Cook on a griddle

10 min

Cook the katmer on a preheated griddle or large skillet until both sides are golden brown. Note: If the heat is too high, the outside may burn before the inside cooks; use medium heat.

Reminder

Important: Stretch the dough thinner by hand while coating it with butter; pressing with a rolling pin will ruin its texture. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), milk and dairy, and walnuts (tree nuts).
