Turkish Puff Pastry – Pogaca Cake with Sesame Seeds

For us, it sounded like a great idea to make Turkish puff pastries (Pogaca) in a cake tray! This is even easier than making the regular Turkish Pogaca! They are incredibly puffy and fluffy because they were left to rise for twice! Even though we cut them in pieces before we bake, they rise so much that they become one, which is still handy when you are serving. Because all that you should do is to cut the dough in to pieces and brush some butter and vegetable oil mixture between the layers. Make sure you place the first and last piece into the middle f the tray, for the cakes shape to be perfect. Also, on our websıte you can find detailed explanation for preparation of the delicious pastry! With the exact same dough, there are tons of different kind of pastries you can make! See our web site easyturkishrecipes.com for more detailed information! Also, if you don’t want to miss anything, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel.
