Sivas savory katmer is a traditional layered pastry from Sivas, Türkiye, made with dough, fat, and salt. Its layers come from rolling and folding the dough with fat, rather than from a sweet filling or syrup.
To make Sivas savory katmer, prepare a salted dough, roll it thin, spread fat over it, fold it into layers, then cook it on a griddle or in a pan. Cook over moderate heat so the layers brown without burning.
Traditional Sivas savory katmer is generally made from layered dough with fat and salt, not a stuffed filling. Some home versions may add ingredients, but a filling is not essential to the pastry’s basic character.
Sivas savory katmer is seasoned with salt and served as a savory pastry, while sweet katmer is made or served with sweet ingredients such as syrup or a sweet filling. The name refers to a layered pastry style, not one fixed flavor.
Sivas savory katmer is served warm, often as a breakfast food or alongside tea. Its rich, layered pastry also works as a snack; pair it with fresh vegetables or a simple yogurt drink to balance the meal.
Yes, you can cook Sivas savory katmer in a heavy frying pan if you do not have a griddle. Use moderate heat and turn it as needed so the outside browns evenly while the folded layers cook through.
Store leftover Sivas savory katmer in a sealed container in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. Let it cool before packing so trapped steam does not make the pastry soggy.
Yes, Sivas savory katmer can be frozen after it has cooled completely. Wrap portions well to limit freezer burn, then reheat them in a pan after thawing for a better texture than microwaving.
Sivas savory katmer can turn tough if the dough is overworked, too much extra flour is used while rolling, or the pastry cooks for too long. Roll it thin and cook over moderate heat, removing it once the layers are browned.
Serve Sivas savory katmer with tea, olives, cheese, or fresh tomatoes and cucumbers for a Turkish-style breakfast. A simple salad or yogurt drink also complements its rich, flaky layers.

Sivas savory katmer is a traditional layered pastry from Sivas, in central Turkey. Dough is rolled thin with fat between its layers and seasoned with salt, then baked until lightly browned. The choice of fat and the thickness of the layers can vary from one home or bakery to another. It is often served warm at breakfast or as a snack with tea, and can also accompany soup or a simple meal. Expect a tender, rich interior with crisp edges rather than a filled pastry. Its dough-and-fat base makes it energy-dense, while protein and fibre are more modest. For a lighter plate, have a smaller piece with fresh tomatoes, cucumber or leafy greens.
