Dill, Carrot and Curd Cheese Poğaça is a Turkish baked pastry made with grated carrot, chopped dill and curd cheese mixed into or folded into the dough. It is commonly served at breakfast or with tea.
To make Dill, Carrot and Curd Cheese Poğaça, mix grated carrot, chopped dill and curd cheese into a soft poğaça dough, shape it into portions and bake until golden. Squeeze excess moisture from the carrot first so the dough stays manageable.
Dill, Carrot and Curd Cheese Poğaça can turn dense if the dough is overworked or loaded with too much flour. Mix just until it comes together, and squeeze moisture from the grated carrot; excess liquid can also interfere with the pastry’s rise.
Yes, Dill, Carrot and Curd Cheese Poğaça can be made with either yeast or baking powder. Baking powder makes a quicker, more crumbly pastry, while yeast needs time to rise and gives the poğaça a softer, bread-like texture.
Yes, you can replace the curd cheese in Dill, Carrot and Curd Cheese Poğaça with crumbled feta or another fresh, mild cheese. Feta is usually saltier and wetter, so reduce added salt and drain it well before mixing.
No, the carrot in Dill, Carrot and Curd Cheese Poğaça is usually added raw, finely grated. Squeeze out excess juice rather than cooking it; this keeps the filling from making the dough wet as the pastry bakes.
Dill, Carrot and Curd Cheese Poğaça goes well with tea, yogurt or ayran, the Turkish yogurt drink. For a breakfast spread, serve it alongside fresh tomato, cucumber and olives.
Store Dill, Carrot and Curd Cheese Poğaça in a sealed container in the refrigerator once it has cooled, since it contains fresh cheese. Warm it briefly before serving to bring back a softer texture.

Dill, carrot and curd cheese poğaça is a Turkish savoury pastry, made with a soft dough mixed with or wrapped around grated carrot, dill and lor, a mild, fresh curd cheese. It is baked until lightly golden, with a tender, moist centre. The carrot adds a gentle sweetness, while dill brings a fresh herbal note.
In Turkey, poğaça is a familiar breakfast or tea-time bite; it also travels well as a snack. Serve it warm or at room temperature, perhaps with tea and fresh vegetables. The pastry is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some protein from the curd cheese. For a lighter meal, pair a piece with tomatoes, cucumber or a simple salad rather than adding another pastry.
