I recently learned that my husband's great-grandfather is Turkish. I have been delving on turkish cuisine recipes through your channel. I can't wait to make this for the family.
I found out about someone with my matrilineal DNA living on the Turkish side of the Greek border. I'm very curious about Greek and Turkish foods. I realize there is contention between these two countries, but the food is undeniably delicious.
@@ChaosAT lets check if he Turk... Michelle your husband getting angry when he hungry? and after eating dinner he become calm? :D if the answer yes then he is Turkish :D
I bet your family speaks Judeo Español, or "Ladino" ,a beautiful creole of Hebrew and Spanish, with influences from Arabic or Ottoman. My dad spoke it fluently. He passed in October 2020 (not of Covid, my Gd bless his soul). I am the first generation in about 500 years to not speak this language fluently... although my Spanish is mediocre. Español es Mas importante por mi estudiantes.
Lastly, the reason your Turkish Jewish grandma makes these is because they are, essentially Spanish Empanadillas with Turkish filling, Turkish Jews escaped the Spanish Inquisition because they were welcomed into the Ottoman Empire by Sultan Beyazid II.
It is actually not a Turkish dish or word. The origin of the word is Latin and morphed into South Slav pogaća. The Turkish probably adopted it during their long rein of the Balkans.
@@jennotanother7640 actually the name means pack in Turkish (bogca). According to Marco Polo and Turkologist Cahun Pogca has been since Central Asia. and the Turks also have their own pasta that is similar to spaghetti. it's called tutmac. there is something between spaghetti and noodles
You may thank Sultan Suleyman Han for all Turkish-inspired recipes in Hungarian cooking, it remained under Turkish authority for almost three hundred years! I cannot help but laugh when they cannot bring themselves to say GREEK feta cheese! 😅
My six-year-old came and jumped on my lap to watch this with me, and we replayed the part where you roll the dough so beautifully three times! What a great party trick! And we can't wait to try these; my kid reckons they're going to smell and taste as good as they look, and I have no doubt that's true.
@@Refika Wow! You don't know how much it means to us both that you've taken the time to reply to us! My son watches your videos with me, and assists with what's become a staple meal, at our house: Refika's Iskender Cauliflower. He was absolutely thrilled to read your reply - as was I! Thank you for making us all smile and laugh and connect through cooking together and sharing yummy food!
Yesterday I sent your video to my French chef neighbor in Dubai, today he came with a plate full of poğaça that he made following your recipe. They were delicious. Thank you so much.
Pogaca is one of my favorite Turkish pastries, I used to make a minced meat one and one with feta and flat-leaf parsley. It was great my kids would bring it to school for lunch too. I will try your version too, Thank you for sharing
I just love your food and I’m going to try all your recipes. I’m from Australia and love this kind of food, thank you for how you explain ingredients well for someone that isn’t Turkish . Much appreciated!
I totally love ❤️ you guys!!! I married a Turkish Jew whose parents were born in Cuba. All four of his grandparents came Turkey. Izmir I think. We live in Miami and attend a Turkish synagogue, where they make and sell these. Sooo delicious.they make them with potato and kashkaval cheese. And of course the edges are shaped by hand into perfect rope design! This video warms my heart. You and your crew are such warm and lovely people.
@@dawnesmith-sliming7004 if not using one small pumpkin, then a 14oz can of pumpkin will do. Add ingredients just like you would for a pumpkin pie, cinnamon, nutmeg etc. These empanadas are a delight on a cold winter morning with coffee or a warm sunny afternoon( after a siesta) with the traditional cold coca- cola. Simply wonderful.
We also call similar pastries like that! "Погача/Pogatcha"! We have a special Pogatcha for Christmas with a coin in it. Whoever gets the coin will have luck next year! Great video!
What is really cool about your recipes and demonstrations, Refika, is that there are a lot of elements that are familiar, but there are some neat twists that inflect the Turkish influences. That is SOOOO great!
So this is where the recipe comes from! I'm Hungarian and my grandmother always used to make these, but we call them "pogácsa" (pronounced "po-gah-tcha"), so I guess after all the raids and attacks by the Turks back in the days the recipe survived in the country. It's almost ironic, how something as negative as war can bring us together today. :) She used to bake the cut offs too and I'd guess what animal shape they look like the most :)
150 years wasn't just war and raids. Obviously there was cultural interaction otherwise you wouldn't have known this pastry. What's interesting to me is how old this recipe is.
I love your videos the recipes are amazing and you never waste anything. Sometimes people don’t realize that if you waste food someday there will not be enough to go around. You and your crew are wonderful people much love to you and be safe!🐞🦬❤️🐢
Hi Refika, I live in Florida and just discovered your show and it’s now my favorite. I made these today with feta and honey for breakfast it was quick easy and delicious . I added a little almond extract and cardamom instead of the spice you suggested. I don’t have that yet.It will be my go to bread for everything. My husband asked me to do a coconut filling. I will let you know how it turns out soon. Cheers.
Love the look on your face as you dig into the dish, love Burak and Bahar's enthusiasm... Thankyou for spreading love and happiness. Tshukrederam.... Love from India
I watch this videos all the time and I can t believe how many similar words we use in the Balkans. Pogača, burek, čevapi, suđuk, musaka and so on and so on. Great videos! I still have frozen mince meat in the freezer for doner kebab 😁
Thanks, Refika, for another great recipe; made it at 4am (long story…) so I used what I had : Cypriot feta, nigella seeds and chillies. Great taste and texture. I will make these again, just a bit later in the day.
Mrs. Refika! I just can’t say enough wonderful things about your channel! Your team and you are doing an amazing job before I started watching your channel I didn’t know anything about the Turkish cuisine so watching your videos helped to understand more of why Turkish food is unique just like any cuisine from around the world. Thank you for taking the time to explain every step and always making every recipe with fresh ingredients! God bless you guys!
My pleasure! I am from Mexico but live in the US! Having your friends over when you are cooking reminds me of the life in Mexico always laughing and enjoying homemade food! I really hope one day to visit your beautiful country! Best regards! ❤️
I made these tonight, and they were amazing and my family loved them. I served them with a couscous salad. Thank you for this great recipe Refika. I am on a roll this week, I will also be trying out the Bulgar Pilavi, PIDE and KISIR.
Thank you for this lovely and simple recipe! I want to do more international baking and cultural exploration with my teen kids. Thank you for making the Turkish foods and traditions accessible and fun! From WV, USA.
How yummy, love that you show all the steps and don’t cut anything out! Thank you for showing us parts of your beautiful homeland Turkey which are just stunning 💕 it was great to see the man feed the doggie🐶 at end of the clip too 💕
Salam Rafika :-) I am from pakistan and I truly in love with you and your recipes..I love the way how you explain each and every part of cooking,it really makes cooking turkish food easy and understandable for a non turkish person like me...love you alot beautiful :-*
My mother is Turkish and she loved simit. Even when I am in Yalova, I never saw Pogaça and we never ate them but they look delicious. I'm gonna make them for my breakfast!
Thank you Refika, for this very yummy looking recipe. I've got hooked on Turkish cooking! Sometimes I can't get the correct ingredients here in New Zealand, but I make do with what I can find. Keep on making these wonderful recipes and cooking! Big hugs xxx
Refika, thank you for your great food videos, I've tried quite a lot of them! Turkey and it's people are amazing, friendly and the best! Hi from England❤️
This smelled so good baking! I used Cabot’s Greek Yogurt (delicious!) and since it is so thick, I needed more than 250 g. I probably used 325 g and I thought the texture was good. I’ve never had pogaca before so I don’t know how they are supposed to taste but mine were beautiful and delicious! Instead of mahaleb, I ground fennel seeds and added a bit of cardamom (1/2 t total). I would use more next time. Thank you Refika, for expanding my culinary horizons!!
@@monicaries2846 It is a type of cheese. Yoğurt is yoğurt. Labne is like cream cheese. And it is expensive. And where are you living? Still it can be nice with yogurt.
@@seren4206 I live in West Virginia, the mountains about 4 hours west of Washington, DC in the US. We can get cream cheese here so maybe I’ll try it with that next time! Where are you?
@@monicaries2846 Good luck with your recipe! I am from Turkey's west side. We are meeting with our recipes, it is amazing. "Afiyet olsun." It means enjoy your meal.
So far I have not tried any of the dough recipes - mostly because I have no place to roll out dough or even knead dough very easily. But this one looks manageable even for me - and when you break poğaças open my mouth waters!
The 2nd version you made looks so yummy! I’ve never been to Turkey but now I know what to look for on my next future trip. Thanks for sharing the video!
Yemek kanalı biliyorum ve öncelik yemek görüntüleri ama ekibin birlikte göründüğü anlara daha uzun yer verilebilir sanki ne dersiniz? 😏 Sizi hep birlikte görünce çok mutlu oluyoruz.
dear refika, greetings and much love from northern california, USA! (and a video request, below. :-D) since discovering your channel(s) just a few days ago i have been binging on your videos, and this is even though i can't eat the things you are cooking unless i made modifications (i am cogitating on this) due to digestive issues . (trust me, you do NOT want to develop a fructose intolerance and not be able to eat onion anymore! !!!) your entire being is so joyful, so generous, so wise, and your team is so fun, and i love seeing you all interacting together, sharing meals together - each of your videos brightens my day in these challenging times. they also remind me of the 2 glorious weeks i spent many moons ago, traveling and eating my way through turkey, mainly anatolia. it was revelatory for me, your culture cuisine, and i came home dreaming of it and of going back (one day, it will happen, i know. :-) anyway - ramble ramble - i wanted to make a request. in a video from a while back you mentioned you'd made a video about your transition as an adult from working in (the medical industry? not food) to food and cooking) but said you'd post it later (because it didn't feel appropriate at the time of the izmir earthquake). i browsed through your videos but couldn't find it. can you share that video with us? i would love to hear that story! especially having enjoyed just hearing about your younger years at roberts college. you are such a wonderful storyteller. thanks!
I love poğaça..all kind of it, homemade or not..Yours look delicious too!! 🤤 I never put egg white into the beyaz peynir, but now, i am gonna try it. I am sure it will taste great. Thank you for the recipe, amazing work as usual! 🤗😍😘
Thank you for all of the great content you and the team make for us❣ I've tried a few of your recipes and I have not been disappointed. I can't wait to try this one, I love having tea with savoury treats. Keep up the amazing work, you guys rock❣
in home, moms usually dont make this. its for guests or (mom's friend gatherings) mostly. i remember i had to ask my mom to make this on sundays and only than she agreed because as refika mentioned, high calorie. home made ones usually better store bought ones have much more calorie. it is also good for trips. you make some and take it with you to the car trip when you get hungry in the half way you pull these babies out, it goes great with fruit juice like orange juice or peach juice.
@@Refika i certainly will. They came over today, all NINE of them in one family, but I had no time. Next time it will be Refika night. All these beautiful foods. My son in law is a chef. i am sure your foods will amaze him Refika!
I really appreciate when you don't waste any food and also highlight your mistakes upfront. Which is very necessary for a learning purpose.

We have a really similar dish in Hungary which is also called pogácsa, actually we have a fair few dishes with Turkish origins
It is actually not a Turkish dish or word. The origin of the word is Latin and morphed into South Slav pogaća. The Turkish probably adopted it during their long rein of the Balkans.
@@jennotanother7640 That's interesting. Thank you. :)
Yeah, it's he other way around, the Turks (from Turkey) got (it - the Pogaca) the most things from other peoples and just done it "their" way
