Pogaça in Istanbul
Restaurants in Istanbul serving Pogaça.
🌍 Origin
Poğaça — a soft, slightly flaky savoury pastry — has roots in Ottoman cuisine with influences from Balkan and Slavic bread traditions. The word itself comes from the Latin 'focaccia' via the Balkans. İstanbul's pastane (pastry shops) and simitçi have been selling poğaça since at least the 19th century; the morning poğaça run to the corner bakery is a ritual for many Istanbul households.
🧂 Key Ingredients
🍽️ How to Eat
Eat warm, within hours of baking — the soft dough hardens as it cools. The three main fillings are beyaz peynir (white cheese), zeytin (olive) and kıymalı (spiced mince). Pair with strong black tea. The glazed, sesame-dusted surface is a quality marker — a good poğaça should be golden and fragrant.
