Armenia's signature pastry, gata is made by wrapping yeasted dough around a khoriz filling of butter, flour and powdered sugar, then baking it in a ring. The egg-wash sheen on top and its flaky texture make it a classic for the tea table.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Activate the yeast

10 min

Mix the fresh yeast with the warm milk and sugar, and let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

2

Knead and prove the dough

30 min

Add the flour, salt and melted butter to the yeast mixture and knead, then cover and let it prove for 30 minutes.

3

Make the khoriz

8 min

Mix the butter with the flour and powdered sugar until you have a smooth paste.

4

Shape the gata

15 min

Roll out the dough, spread the khoriz over it, roll it up and shape into a ring, then place on a lined tray.

5

Bake

25 min

Brush with egg yolk and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 25 minutes until golden.

Reminder

Don't wrap the khoriz filling before the dough has had time to rise, or the pastry won't puff up properly in the oven. Allergens: contains gluten (flour), dairy (butter) and egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Keeping the khoriz filling a little cooler makes it easier to wrap in the dough; in a warm kitchen, chilling it for 10 minutes helps.
