Samsun roll pastry is a traditional Turkish dessert made by rolling thin pastry around a walnut filling, baking it, and soaking it with syrup. It is associated with Samsun and is served as a sweet, syrup-soaked pastry.
To make Samsun roll pastry, spread walnuts over thin pastry, roll it up, cut it into portions, and bake until golden. Pour syrup over the baked rolls; recipes differ in how the pastry is made and how tightly it is rolled.
Samsun roll pastry is associated with Samsun, a city in Türkiye’s Black Sea region. Its name reflects that regional connection, and the dessert is known for its rolled shape, walnut filling, and syrup-soaked finish.
Samsun roll pastry is shaped into filled rolls, often with walnuts, while baklava is usually made by layering sheets of pastry in a tray. Both are baked and sweetened with syrup, but their shapes and assembly differ.
Samsun roll pastry is typically made with thin pastry, walnuts, fat such as butter, and sugar syrup. The pastry itself may also contain ingredients such as eggs or dairy, depending on the recipe.
Samsun roll pastry can turn soggy if it absorbs too much syrup or is covered while still hot and steaming. Add syrup in a controlled amount, and let the rolls cool without trapping steam before storing them.
The syrup for Samsun roll pastry is made by simmering sugar and water; a little lemon juice can help prevent crystallization. Pour it on carefully, since excess syrup can soften the pastry and diminish its crisp texture.
Serve Samsun roll pastry in small portions after it has had time to absorb the syrup. Plain tea or unsweetened coffee makes a good accompaniment and balances the dessert’s sweetness.
Store Samsun roll pastry once fully cooled in a covered container in a cool, dry place. Avoid sealing it while warm, when trapped steam can soften the pastry; its texture may also become less crisp as it absorbs syrup.
Yes, Samsun roll pastry can be frozen, although the syrup-soaked pastry may be softer after thawing. Freeze portions in an airtight container, thaw them in the refrigerator, and briefly warm them in the oven if you want to refresh the texture.

Samsun roll pastry is a traditional Turkish dessert associated with Samsun, on the Black Sea coast. Thin pastry is rolled around walnuts, baked until crisp, then soaked in syrup. The flaky layers and nutty filling make each bite rich, sweet and satisfyingly crunchy.
In Turkey, it is often served to guests with tea or brought out for celebrations and holidays. It is an energy-dense treat, with much of its carbohydrate coming from the pastry and syrup and a substantial amount of fat from the walnuts and pastry. A small piece alongside unsweetened tea makes a good-sized serving.
