A curd cheese puff pastry ring is a savory Turkish-style pastry made by filling puff pastry with lor, a mild, crumbly Turkish whey cheese, then shaping it into a ring. Sesame is often sprinkled on top, giving it a simit-like appearance.
To make a curd cheese puff pastry ring, thaw the pastry until workable, add a modest amount of seasoned curd cheese, and seal it into a ring. Brush the top with egg wash, add sesame if desired, and bake in a preheated oven until puffed and golden.
No, lor cheese in a curd cheese puff pastry ring is not exactly the same as ricotta. Lor is a Turkish whey cheese that is usually mild and crumbly; ricotta is often creamier and wetter, so drain it before using it as a substitute.
Yes, store-bought puff pastry works well for a curd cheese puff pastry ring and is the usual convenient choice. Thaw it according to the package directions, but keep it cool while shaping so the layers remain distinct and puff properly in the oven.
The filling can leak from a curd cheese puff pastry ring if the pastry edges are not sealed, the filling is too wet, or the ring is overfilled. Drain the cheese, leave a clear border, and press the seam firmly before baking.
Reheat a curd cheese puff pastry ring in an oven or air fryer rather than a microwave. Dry heat helps restore the flaky layers, while microwaving tends to soften them; warm only until the center is hot.
Yes, you can freeze an assembled, unbaked curd cheese puff pastry ring. Freeze the rings separately on a tray first, then transfer them to a sealed freezer bag; bake from frozen and allow extra time for the pastry to brown.
Serve a curd cheese puff pastry ring with fresh vegetables, olives, or a simple salad to balance its rich, flaky pastry. It also works as a savory breakfast or snack with tea, without needing another cheese-heavy side.
Often, yes: sesame seeds are commonly used on a curd cheese puff pastry ring to evoke the sesame-coated Turkish simit. They are a topping rather than a requirement, so you can leave them off or use another seed if preferred.
Yes, cottage cheese can replace lor in a curd cheese puff pastry ring, but drain it well and crumble it before filling the pastry. Its curds may be larger and wetter than lor, so use a small amount to help the ring seal.

A Curd Cheese Puff Pastry Ring is a savoury, ring-shaped pastry made from flaky puff pastry and filled with lor, a mild Turkish whey cheese. It takes its shape from simit, the sesame-crusted bread rings familiar in Turkey, though the pastry is richer and more layered.
In Turkey, it is often served warm for breakfast or with tea as a quick snack. The crisp, buttery pastry contrasts with the soft, gently tangy filling. It is energy-dense for its size, so pair it with fresh vegetables or a simple salad for a more balanced meal.
