Poğaça with tahini cream is a Turkish baked pastry made with soft dough and a tahini-based filling. It combines the familiar tender texture of poğaça with tahini’s rich, nutty flavor.
To make poğaça with tahini cream, prepare poğaça dough, add a spoonful of tahini filling, seal the dough, and bake until done. Seal the edges firmly so the filling is less likely to escape in the oven.
The filling for poğaça with tahini cream is centered on tahini, often mixed with a sweetener to give it a dessert-like flavor. Recipes vary, but a spreadable rather than runny filling is easiest to shape inside the dough.
Poğaça with tahini cream has a tahini filling, while regular poğaça is often plain or filled with savory ingredients such as cheese. The tahini version has a distinctly nutty, richer taste and is commonly treated as a sweet pastry.
The filling in poğaça with tahini cream usually leaks when it is too loose or the dough is not sealed well. Use a manageable amount, pinch the edges closed, and place each pastry seam-side down on the baking tray.
Poğaça with tahini cream is generally sweet or mildly sweet rather than savory, because its tahini filling is often sweetened. The exact taste varies by recipe, so some versions may have a more pronounced tahini flavor than sweetness.
Store poğaça with tahini cream in a covered container after it has cooled completely. Keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving it out for an extended time; freeze it if you need to keep it longer.
Yes, poğaça with tahini cream can be frozen. Let the pastries cool fully, wrap or pack them airtight, and freeze them separately if possible so they do not stick together; thaw before reheating.
Reheat poğaça with tahini cream in an oven for a short time to refresh the pastry without making it soggy. A microwave works for a quick serving, but use short bursts because it can soften the dough unevenly.
Serve poğaça with tahini cream with unsweetened tea or coffee, or add fresh fruit for a lighter accompaniment. Its rich, nutty filling already brings plenty of flavor, so simple sides work well.

Poğaça with tahini cream is a Turkish baked pastry: a soft, usually savoury-style dough wrapped around a smooth tahini filling. Poğaça is a familiar bakery and home-baked staple in Turkey, while this sweet, rich filling gives it a different character from the more common cheese or potato versions.
The outside is lightly browned and the inside tender, with the toasted, nutty flavour of sesame. In Turkey it is often enjoyed at breakfast or with tea; elsewhere it works well as a substantial snack alongside coffee or unsweetened tea. The dough and tahini make it energy-dense, so pair it with fruit or plain yoghurt if you want a more balanced breakfast.
