Hi all! This week is another regional week, this time focusing on traditional and modern Turkish recipes! Turkey is a nation nestled in between the continents of Europe and Asia, meaning it has a wide variety of culinary influences, namely Mediterranean, Balkan, Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Eastern European. Popular baked goods include simit (Turkish bagels), börek (pastry made of layers of flaky dough such as filo), pide (flatbread that can be stuffed based on the region), baklava (layered filo, nuts, and sugar-syrup), knafeh (sweet cheese and sugar-syrup soaked spun pastry), and lökum (Turkish delight). Example recipes for these can be found below, and as always, if you’re from Turkey or are familiar with Turkish baking and would like to share more information or resources down below, we’d love to hear from you!

Mutlu pişirme! (Happy baking!)
