Frequently Asked Questions About Gazete Dessert
What is Gazete Dessert?
Gazete Dessert is a Turkish syrup-soaked pastry made with thin phyllo or baklava dough, butter, and a nut filling, usually walnuts or hazelnuts. The dough is commonly rolled before baking, giving the sweet a different shape from layered, diamond-cut baklava.
How do you make Gazete Dessert at home?
To make Gazete Dessert, layer or spread thin pastry, add a fine walnut or hazelnut filling, roll it up, and cut it into portions. Brush with butter, bake until golden, then pour syrup over the baked pastry and let it absorb.
Why is it called Gazete Dessert?
The name Gazete Dessert refers to newspaper used in some traditional preparation methods to help roll the dough thinly. The paper is only a shaping aid, not an ingredient; recipes may use other tools or techniques to form the pastry.
Is Gazete Dessert the same as baklava?
No, Gazete Dessert is not exactly the same as baklava. Both use pastry, nuts, butter, and syrup, but Gazete Dessert is typically rolled into a log and cut into pieces, while baklava is usually built from stacked pastry sheets and cut in a tray.
How do you keep Gazete Dessert crispy after adding syrup?
Bake Gazete Dessert until thoroughly golden and pour cooled syrup over the hot pastry, a common method for syrup-soaked pastries. Add the syrup gradually rather than flooding it; too much liquid softens the thin pastry and takes away its crisp texture.
Can you use store-bought phyllo for Gazete Dessert?
Yes, store-bought phyllo can be used for Gazete Dessert. Keep the sheets covered while you work so they do not dry out, and handle them gently when rolling because thin phyllo can tear more easily than thicker pastry.
What nuts go inside Gazete Dessert?
Walnuts and hazelnuts are both traditional choices for Gazete Dessert. Chop or grind the nuts finely enough to spread evenly, but avoid turning them into a paste; a loose filling is easier to roll and gives the pastry a more distinct nutty texture.
Can Gazete Dessert be made ahead for a gathering?
Yes, you can bake Gazete Dessert ahead and add the syrup closer to serving time. Keeping the pastry unsyruped for a while helps it stay crisp; once syrup is added, allow it time to soak in before serving.
How should leftover Gazete Dessert be stored?
Store leftover Gazete Dessert covered in a cool, dry place so moisture does not soften the pastry. If your kitchen is warm, refrigerate it in a sealed container; bring it toward room temperature before serving for a less firm texture.
What can you serve with Gazete Dessert?
Serve Gazete Dessert in modest pieces with unsweetened Turkish tea or black coffee. Their bitterness balances the syrup and buttery pastry, and the dessert is rich enough that it usually needs no additional sauce or topping.

What is Gazete Dessert?
