Katmer

Cultural Context

Katmer hails from Turkey, particularly popular in regions like Gaziantep. Traditionally served during special occasions, this dessert showcases the rich flavors of pistachios and the delicate texture of phyllo dough. Its preparation is often a family affair, with generations passing down techniques. Today, Katmer enjoys popularity beyond Turkey, often found in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, celebrated for its sweet, nutty flavor and crispy texture.

1

Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for Turkish flatbread known as katma.

2

Mix 3 cups of all purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl.

3

Add 1 cup of warm water gradually while mixing with a spatula to form a dough.

4

Knead the dough by hand for about 5 minutes until it is stiff and soft.

5

Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

6

Transfer the dough to a flat surface, sprinkle with flour, and knead for another 3 to 5 minutes until soft.

7

Cut the dough into 6 to 8 equal pieces.

8

Shape each piece into a round ball and place them on a lightly floured plate, covering them with a kitchen towel to prevent drying out.

9

Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (or use vegetable oil) for later use.

10

Roll out each dough ball on a floured surface until very thin, almost see-through.

11

Spread the melted butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.

12

Use a glass to mark the center of the dough and cut slits into the dough about seven times.

13

Remove the glass and wrap the dough, sealing it tightly to create layers.

14

Place the wrapped dough aside and cover it to prevent drying out while preparing the remaining pieces.

15

Roll out each wrapped dough again to a round shape, not too thin, about the size of a chapati.

16

Heat a flat pan over medium heat and lightly oil it with vegetable oil.

17

Cook the rolled-out dough on the pan until golden brown on both sides.
