Katmer · Gaziantep
A single sheet of dough thrown until it is almost transparent, folded around clotted cream and green pistachio, then baked flat in a stone oven and cut into squares while it is still molten.
Katmer is a breakfast course in Gaziantep, not a dessert, and the counters that make it open at five or six in the morning and close before lunch. The dough is stretched by hand over a marble slab until light passes through it, which is why the shops build their windows around the counter: watching the throw is part of the sale. The filling is kaymak, the thick clotted cream of the region, and the pistachio is used raw and ground so it keeps its colour. Tradition also ties katmer to weddings, where it is served to the couple on the first morning.
