Then this is the right recipe for you.
I had 6 sheets of Yufka leaves in the fridge. Leftover from my spinach rolls 2 days ago. The problem with this thin sheets of dough is, they dry out pretty quickly and brake apart. When the package is open, you have to use them in a very short time.
Looking through Pinterest and Google I found mostly savoury recipes. It took a bit of narrowing down my search request to find this recipe. "Turkish pastry out of the pan"
It is easy and ready to serve under 20 minutes.
I used a mix of chopped pistachios and walnuts and only less then halve of the sugar that was in the recipe. I know that the Turkish bakes are very very sweet. Not for my middle European taste buds.
recipe for 3 pastries:
6 sheets of yufka
30 g butter
125 g Mozzarella di Buffalo
70 g Kaymak or Mascarpone cheese
25 g chopped pistachios
25 g chopped walnuts
2 tsp brown sugar mixed with dark brown sugar
oil for frying
Melt the butter and use a pastry brush.
Brush one sheet of yufka and set the second one on top.
Spread a blob of Kaymak in the middle and set a slice of Mozzarella on top.
Sprinkle with mixed nuts and some sugar.
Fold the yufka over like a package and brush with butter to close all sides.
Heat up a pan and pour in enough oil to coat the whole pan and shallow fry the packages golden brown on medium heat.
Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately.
After one package you will be full, grins.
