This Turkish layered pastry is made by arranging thin pastry sheets, boiled first, with a white-cheese filling, then baking it. Boiling the sheets first gives it a characteristically soft, moist texture that differs from other filled pastries.

Step by Step

Boil the yufka sheets

15 min

Boil the yufka sheets one at a time in salted water for a few seconds, then transfer them to cold water.

2

Prepare the filling

5 min

Mix the white cheese with the parsley.

3

Make the coating mixture

5 min

4

Layer in the pan

15 min

Dip the yufka sheets in the coating mixture and layer them in the pan. Sprinkle the cheese filling over the middle layer.

5

Bake
