Boyoz

Boyoz, or boyo, is a pastry of Sephardic Jewish origin associated with İzmir, Turkey, where it is regarded as a characteristic local speciality. Widely identified with the city's culinary culture, it is commercially produced in İzmir and is officially registered as İzmir Boyozu as a geographical indication limited to the province of İzmir. Traditional descriptions of boyoz emphasize a simple layered dough; plain versions are common, although filled varieties are also documented. Boyoz paste is a mixture of flour, sunflower oil, and a small amount of tahini. Originally, the recipe utilized sesame oil. It is kneaded by hand, and the ball of paste is left to rest for two hours. The paste is then flattened to the width of a dish and left to rest again. It is then kneaded and opened once more, before being formed into a roll and left to repose as such for a further period of several hours.
