What is Poğaça with shredded cheese?
Poğaça with shredded cheese is a Turkish savoury pastry made from soft, usually yeasted dough, with cheese inside, on top, or both. The “shredded” cheese gives the pastry its distinctive fringe-like finish. Poğaça is a familiar bakery and home-baking staple in Turkey, with many regional and family variations.
It is commonly eaten warm or at room temperature for breakfast, as a snack, or alongside tea. The dough is tender and slightly rich, while the cheese brings a salty, savoury bite. At 356 calories per 100 g, it is substantial for its size, so a medium piece can make a filling snack.
