1 piece (medium) of Beypazarı kurusu (30 g) has 126 calories. That works out to 420 calories per 100 g. It contains 21 g of carbs, 2.6 g of protein, 3.6 g of fat and 1.1 g of fiber. Its 144 mg of Sodium covers 6% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 70 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
Beypazarı kurusu is a traditional twice-baked pastry from Beypazarı, a district of Ankara in central Turkey. Its dough is commonly made with flour, milk, butter and yeast, shaped into small pieces, baked, then baked again until thoroughly dry. That second bake gives it a long keeping life and its characteristically firm crunch.
Mild and buttery rather than strongly sweet, it is often served with tea in Turkey, either nibbled as it is or briefly dipped to soften it. It is also an easy snack to keep on hand. The pastry is carbohydrate-rich and energy-dense, so a few pieces can go a long way; pair it with fruit or yogurt for a more rounded snack.

Beypazarı kurusu is a traditional twice-baked, crisp pastry associated with Beypazarı, a district in Ankara, Turkey. It is usually made as small, firm pieces and is known for its buttery flavor and ability to keep longer than soft baked goods.
Beypazarı kurusu tastes mildly buttery and bready, with a dry, crunchy texture rather than the sweetness of a typical cookie. Recipes vary, and versions made with spices such as mahlep may have a more distinctive aromatic flavor.
Beypazarı kurusu is generally made with flour, milk, butter, yeast, and salt. Some recipes also use mahlep, and proportions can differ between bakeries and home cooks, so the exact flavor and texture are not identical in every batch.
Beypazarı kurusu comes from Beypazarı, a district in Ankara Province, Turkey. It is a regional specialty associated with local baking traditions, and its name refers to the place where it originated.
Beypazarı kurusu is made by shaping and baking a yeasted dough, then baking it again to remove moisture and make it crisp. That second baking gives the pastry its signature dry texture and helps it keep longer.
Beypazarı kurusu is commonly eaten on its own or with tea. Because it is quite firm, you can briefly dip a piece into tea to soften it, but leaving it submerged may make it crumble.
No, Beypazarı kurusu is not the same as Italian biscotti, though both are crisp and baked more than once. Beypazarı kurusu is a Turkish regional pastry, typically made with a buttery, yeasted dough and usually less sweet.
Beypazarı kurusu is hard because it is baked a second time to dry it out and create its characteristic crunch. The firm texture is intentional, not a sign that a fresh, properly stored piece has gone stale.
Store Beypazarı kurusu in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Moisture can take away its crunch, so seal the package well after opening and keep it away from humid areas such as a spot near the kettle.
Yes, you can soften Beypazarı kurusu by dipping it briefly in tea or serving it with a warm drink. Keep the dip short: the dry pastry absorbs liquid quickly and can become soft enough to break apart.
