What is Poppy Seed Gediz Bread?
Poppy Seed Gediz Bread is a traditional bake from the Gediz area of Kütahya, Turkey. Dough is combined with a savoury, aromatic poppy-seed paste and baked into a rich bread-like pastry. It is sliced and commonly served at breakfast or alongside tea, and makes a satisfying snack between meals. Its soft dough and pronounced poppy flavour are part of its appeal.
