Turkish Bakery Poğaça Recipe
Today I have a delicious pastry recipe that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Since I've been on a diet for a while, I look at the photos the way a cat looks at the liver. Since I know its taste, you can be sure that it has a greater effect on me than it does on you. It's a very greasy pastry, but this is in the nature of pastry shops, unfortunately. The fatter the tastier.
A total of 200 g butter and 100 ml cream are used in the recipe, don't even make an offer.
The pastries are also very thick and delicious the next day, but I don't know how long they will last as they don't come out on the third day. Like any pastry, you can freeze it after cooking. When you want to use it, you can take it to the refrigerator and thaw it 1 night before and serve it by taking it to room temperature at least 2 hours before serving. This also applies to all types of pastries.
Unlike other pastry recipes, mahleb is used in plain patisserie pastry. Mahlep gives the pastry dough the smell of pastry dough. Although it is not necessary for its consistency, it is necessary for its taste and smell. Therefore, I recommend that you stick to the recipe in this regard.
Enjoy the recipe...
