Frequently Asked Questions About Lorlu sıkma
What is lorlu sıkma?
Lorlu sıkma is a Turkish flatbread wrap filled with lor, a fresh, mild whey cheese, often mixed with herbs. The thin bread is cooked, filled, and rolled, making it a convenient handheld meal.
How do you make lorlu sıkma at home?
To make lorlu sıkma, cook thin rounds of dough on a hot griddle or skillet, spread a lor-and-herb filling over them, then roll them up. A brief return to the pan warms the filling and helps the wrap hold its shape.
Where does lorlu sıkma come from?
Lorlu sıkma is associated especially with Mersin and the Çukurova region of southern Turkey. It belongs to the broader Turkish tradition of cooking thin flatbreads and filling or rolling them for a quick home-style meal.
What cheese is used in lorlu sıkma?
Lorlu sıkma is made with lor, a mild, fresh whey cheese common in Turkey. If you cannot find lor, ricotta can work as a substitute, though it may be wetter; drain it first and adjust the salt to taste.
Can you make lorlu sıkma with store-bought flatbread?
Yes, you can make lorlu sıkma with thin store-bought flatbread or lavash instead of preparing dough from scratch. Warm the bread until pliable, add the lor filling, and roll it gently so it does not split.
How is lorlu sıkma different from gözleme?
Lorlu sıkma is typically rolled around its filling after the flatbread is cooked. Gözleme is usually folded or sealed around its filling and cooked as a filled flatbread, so the shape and cooking method distinguish the two.
Is lorlu sıkma usually eaten hot or cold?
Lorlu sıkma is most often served warm, when the bread is soft and the lor filling is pleasantly heated. It can also be eaten at room temperature, which makes it convenient to pack for a picnic or lunch.
What do you serve with lorlu sıkma?
Lorlu sıkma pairs well with fresh tomatoes, cucumber, greens, or ayran. These simple sides complement the mild cheese filling without overwhelming it; a small salad also makes an easy accompaniment for lunch.
How should you store leftover lorlu sıkma?
Store leftover lorlu sıkma in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within about 2 days. Let it cool before covering, and refrigerate it promptly because its fresh-cheese filling should not sit out for long.
Can you freeze lorlu sıkma?
Yes, lorlu sıkma can be frozen once it has cooled completely. Wrap individual pieces well and place them in an airtight freezer container; thaw before reheating in a skillet or oven to bring back a softer texture.

What is Lorlu sıkma?
Lorlu sıkma is a traditional Turkish wrap, especially associated with the Mediterranean and Çukurova regions. Thin dough is cooked on a griddle, filled with lor—a fresh, crumbly Turkish curd cheese—and herbs, then rolled up. The herbs and their proportions vary between household recipes.
The bread is soft and gently chewy, while the savoury filling brings a fresh, tangy contrast. In Turkey, it is commonly served warm at breakfast or alongside tea, and also makes a handy light meal. Its dough provides most of the carbohydrates, with lor adding some protein. For a lighter plate, pair it with a crisp salad or add extra herbs to the filling.
