About this tour
Turkish bread is generally more like the pocket-less type of pita. A wheat dough more leavened than pita bread provides the broad, round flat shape of this type of bread.
Turkish pastry comes in numerous shapes, sizes, and flavours; cevizli baklava (walnut baklava) and fistikli baklava (pistachio baklava) are what you see most often in the States: flaky layers of phyllo dough, stacked and brushed with butter and sugar syrup, and then cut into rectangles or diamonds.
