Chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça is a baked savoury Turkish pastry made with chickpeas, curd cheese and flaxseed. Recipes vary in the dough and seasoning, so it may be shaped and filled differently from one baker to another.
To make chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça, prepare a pastry dough, add cooked chickpeas and curd cheese as a filling or mix-in, shape the pieces, and bake until done. Flaxseed can go into the dough or on top.
Not always: chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça can be made with yeast or with a quick dough leavened using baking powder. Yeast gives the pastry a more bread-like texture, while baking powder is useful when you want to skip proving time.
Yes, chickpeas should be fully cooked before they go into chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça. Drain them well first; excess liquid can make the filling wet and interfere with shaping and baking.
You can replace the curd cheese in chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça with another crumbly cheese that is not overly wet. Taste the filling before adding salt, since different cheeses can be much saltier than curd cheese.
Once cool, keep chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça in a sealed container in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. Its cheese filling makes room-temperature storage for an extended period a poor choice.
Yes, chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça can be frozen after baking and cooling. Wrap or containerise the pieces so they do not stick together, then thaw and warm them in the oven for a better texture.
Reheat chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça in a preheated oven until warmed through. This helps restore a little crispness; a microwave works for speed but tends to make the pastry softer, so eat it soon after heating.
Serve chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça with fresh cucumber and tomato for breakfast or as part of a light meal. It also works as a savoury tea-time snack, since its chickpea and cheese filling adds substance on its own.
For chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça, drain the chickpeas thoroughly, avoid using watery curd cheese, and seal the dough edges firmly. Overfilling is a common reason the pastry opens and the filling escapes during baking.

Chickpea, curd cheese and flaxseed poğaça is a Turkish-style baked savoury pastry made with chickpeas, curd cheese and flaxseed worked into the dough. Like other poğaça, it is tender and substantial, with a slightly textured crumb; the chickpeas and cheese give it a fuller flavour, while flaxseed adds a mild, nutty note.
In Turkey, poğaça is a familiar breakfast choice and a popular snack with tea, and this version also packs well for a journey or workday. The pastry is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some protein from the chickpeas and curd cheese and fibre from the flaxseed. Pair it with fresh tomatoes, cucumber or greens for a more balanced plate.
