Carsamba kivratmasi is a traditional pastry associated with Çarşamba in Samsun, Türkiye. Thin dough is filled, gathered into a distinctive folded shape and baked; walnut is a common filling in sweet versions.
Carsamba kivratmasi gets its signature rippled form when thin dough is gathered or folded rather than left flat. The shaped pastry is placed in a pan and baked, giving it a recognisable ridged appearance.
Yes, walnuts are the customary filling in many Carsamba kivratmasi recipes. The nuts are scattered over the thin dough before it is folded, though family recipes can vary in the filling and its sweetness.
Carsamba kivratmasi is usually made and served as a sweet pastry, often with a walnut filling. Recipes can differ, but its traditional reputation is as a regional dessert rather than a savoury börek.
Traditional Carsamba kivratmasi is made with dough rolled very thin, then filled and gathered into folds. Some home cooks use ready-made filo as a shortcut, but it may not give the same texture as hand-rolled dough.
Usually, Carsamba kivratmasi is not soaked in syrup in the same way as baklava. Its appeal comes from the folded, baked dough and filling; recipes may add a different finishing touch, such as powdered sugar.
Its distinctive gathered, wavy shape and association with Çarşamba set Carsamba kivratmasi apart. Unlike many layered pastries, the dough is shaped into folds, so the baked pieces have ridges rather than a flat stack of layers.
Carsamba kivratmasi is commonly served as a sweet treat alongside Turkish tea or coffee. Its rich, crisp pastry makes it a natural fit for a dessert plate or a relaxed tea-time spread.
Yes, baked Carsamba kivratmasi can be frozen once it has cooled completely. Wrap or seal it well to protect it from freezer odors, then thaw it and briefly warm it in the oven to refresh the texture.
Let Carsamba kivratmasi cool fully before storing it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Trapping steam while it is warm can soften the folded pastry; a brief oven warming can help restore crispness.

Carsamba kivratmasi is a traditional pastry associated with Çarşamba in Samsun, on Turkey’s Black Sea coast. Thin sheets of dough are filled with chopped walnuts, rolled or folded into crinkled layers, then baked; recipes may finish it with syrup. It is a regional home-baking specialty rather than an everyday bread.
The pastry is sweet and nutty, with crisp, flaky edges and a softer centre. In Turkey it is commonly served with tea at visits, celebrations and holiday tables. Its pastry, walnuts and added fat make it an energy-dense treat, so a modest piece works well alongside unsweetened tea. If you prefer it less sweet, choose a version with less syrup.
