Frequently Asked Questions About Laz pastry
What is Laz pastry?
Laz pastry is a traditional dessert from Turkey’s Black Sea region, made with thin pastry layers and a creamy custard filling, then finished with syrup. It is also known as Laz böreği, despite being served as a sweet rather than a savory pie.
Where does Laz pastry come from?
Laz pastry comes from the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey and is especially associated with Rize and Artvin. It is part of Laz culinary tradition, with family and local recipes varying in their pastry and custard.
What is Laz pastry made of?
Laz pastry typically contains thin sheets of dough or phyllo, milk-based custard, and syrup. The custard is layered inside the pastry, which is baked until golden before the syrup is added.
How is Laz pastry made?
To make Laz pastry, layer thin pastry sheets with cooled custard, cover with more pastry, and bake until golden. Syrup is added after baking. Scoring the top before it goes into the oven makes it easier to portion neatly.
Does Laz pastry contain black pepper?
Some traditional Laz pastry recipes season the custard with a little black pepper. It adds a subtle savory note that contrasts with the sweet syrup, but it is optional and not included in every version.
Is Laz pastry sweet or savory?
Laz pastry is a dessert, not a savory pastry. Its name can be confusing, but the custard filling and syrup give it a distinctly sweet flavor; it is commonly served after a meal.
How should Laz pastry be served?
Serve Laz pastry after it has absorbed the syrup and cooled, either at room temperature or slightly chilled. Cooling helps the custard set, so the pastry holds together better when sliced.
What makes Laz pastry different from baklava?
Laz pastry has a creamy custard layer between sheets of pastry, while baklava is usually filled with chopped nuts. Their textures differ too: Laz pastry is soft and custardy inside, whereas baklava is crisp and nutty.
Can you make Laz pastry without syrup?
Yes, you can leave the syrup off Laz pastry, but the result will be less sweet and less moist than the traditional version. The custard still provides richness, so serve it soon after baking to keep the pastry from drying out.
How do you store leftover Laz pastry?
Keep leftover Laz pastry covered in the refrigerator because its custard filling is perishable. Bring a portion briefly toward room temperature before serving if you prefer a softer texture; avoid leaving the whole dish out for extended periods.

What is Laz pastry?
Laz pastry is a traditional sweet from Turkey’s Black Sea region, especially associated with Rize. It is made with thin layers of pastry wrapped around a thick milk custard, baked until golden and finished with syrup. The crisp, buttery outer layers contrast with the soft, creamy centre.
In its home region it is served as a dessert or with tea, and it is also familiar in Turkish bakeries and homes. For English-speaking readers elsewhere, it is a rich alternative to a custard tart, best enjoyed in a modest slice with unsweetened tea or coffee. It is chiefly a source of carbohydrates: each 100 g provides 35 g, with less protein by comparison.
