Akyurt Tandoori Pastry

Akyurt Tandoor Börek is a traditional pastry crafted from leavened dough, which is hand-rolled into thin layers and filled with either a minced meat or potato-based mixture. It is then shaped to resemble a mussel and baked in stone ovens fired with wood or in electric ovens at a temperature of 200°C.

With a rich historical significance, Akyurt Tandoor Börek is often featured during important events such as weddings, engagement ceremonies, and Ramadan suhoor meals.

The method of making Akyurt Tandoor Börek is distinctive to the region. It requires expertise in dough preparation, rolling technique, and the mussel-like shaping of the pastry. Due to this specialized and traditional preparation process, the börek is closely linked to the cultural identity of its geographical origin.
