What is Kaytaz pastry with pepper?
Kaytaz pastry with pepper is a speciality of Hatay in southern Turkey, especially associated with Antakya. It is made from yeasted dough shaped into small, shallow rounds and topped with minced meat and pepper, often with onion, pepper paste and regional seasoning, then baked. The open top lets the savoury topping brown while the dough stays soft beneath it.
It is usually eaten warm in Hatay, at breakfast, alongside tea, or as a filling snack; a fresh salad or ayran makes a good accompaniment. The dough and oil make it fairly energy-dense, while the meat contributes protein: it provides 10.4 g per 100 g. For a lighter meal, have a smaller piece with plenty of greens.
