What are the Most Well Known Turkish Pastry Recipes?
Children, young and old, without exception, almost every Turkish person loves pastries. Anatolian people can't say no to pastry whether it's for breakfast, lunch, tea or dinner. There are both pastry recipes with yeast and no yeast pastry recipes in Turkish cuisine. The most well known and preferred pastries are manti, borek with minced meat or cheese, lahmacun and pide recipes. Manti is a pastry recipe which is nearly the same with ravioli recipe of Italian cuisine. After the dough pieces that are filled with minced meat, are boiled in water, yogurt with garlic is poured on them. Finally, a sauce with dry mint and red pepper powder, which is fried with butter, is poured on the yogurt. Among the most well-knownTurkish ravioli recipes are hingel, Bosnian manti, Tatar manti and Kayseri manti. Boreks can be made with minced meat or many vegetables such as spinach, potatoes and zucchini. Lahmacuns, on the other hand, are among the most well-known pastries of Gaziantep, Şanlıurfa and Hatay cuisine with plenty of spice and minced meat.
What is Fried Dough Bişi?
Among the Turkish savory pastry recipes, the most prominent one with its ease is the homemade bişi. Bişi, briefly, is a salty and pastry food made with yeast or no yeast dough in various shapes and fried in hot oil. It is also known as pişi, bişi or bavursak. The size of the pişi may vary in different recipes. In some pastry recipes, it can be almost as much as a palm, while in some recipes it can be almost as much as a hand. It is available in recipes adding sesame on the pişi dough while the pastry is being prepared. Bişi is usually consumed in Turkish cuisine for breakfast or afternoon tea. All kinds of low-salt cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers are consumed next to bişi. In addition, hot tea is a must when eating pişi.
How is Fried Bread Dough Pişi Made?
The essential thing about making a good bişi is that it should rises like a puff. Perhaps the most important point here is that the bakery should not absorb oil. A bişi that absorbs oil will not rise as it should, so it will not be tasty enough. In addition to being the most common recipe, bişi with yeast is the most common recipe, if you do not have dry yeast at home or if you are looking for an easy breakfast recipe that you can prepare for breakfast with only baking powder without yeast, you can easily prepare delicious pişi at home by using some baking powder or baking soda. Baking powder helps us to make puffed pastry by replacing the yeast. If you want to make pastry with baking powder, it is essential to use yoghurt at room temperature and water to get perfect results. In order to make the pastry dough prepared with baking powder, first of all, we put the yogurt at room temperature and water in a bowl. Then we add eggs, salt, baking powder and finally flour as needed and knead the ingredients. After the kneading process, the dough pieces are ready to be fried in hot oil after waiting for 15 minutes. You can optinally add cheese, chopped parsley or dill into the pastry dough.
