Antep Village Kahkesi Product Description and Distinctive Features: Antep Village Kahke is a special type of cookie made in Gaziantep, especially during the Ramadan holidays. It contains unique spices such as fennel, cumin, cinnamon, and sesame. Produced through special processes using chickpea yeast, it is a cookie that crumbles in the mouth and maintains its freshness for 3-4 months. The key factor in preserving its freshness lies in the unique fermentation process that sets it apart from other cookies. The concept of "Kahke" was introduced by master craftsmen from Gaziantep in the early 1900s, who brought it from the city of Aleppo in Syria. It was initially created during the Ramadan months with the aim of making fasting enjoyable for children. Antep Kahke comes in both savory and sweet variations. The Antep Village Kahke, subject to certification, is a sweet variety of Kahke. Its most significant feature is the use of chickpea yeast, contributing to its crumbly texture and extended shelf life. The distinctive characteristics of the product are further enhanced by the spices used and the shape of the Kahke. Preparing Antep Village Kahke for Baking: Small portions, approximately 17 grams each, are taken from the dough prepared for Antep Village Kahke, and a hollow circular shape is formed in the center. The shaped Antep Village Kahke doughs, when they rise, are arranged on a Teflon tray with gaps between them so that they do not touch each other. Beaten whole eggs are brushed onto the surface of the Antep Village Kahke. Baking: After the prepared trays are left at approximately 42-45°C for about 2 hours, they are placed in a preheated oven at 180°C. The baking time is approximately 20-25 minutes. The Antep Village Kahke is considered fully baked when the top and bottom have a light golden color. When taken out of the oven, it is very fragile, so the trays should not be emptied immediately. The produced Antep Village Kahkes should be left to cool to room temperature before being carefully removed from the tray and served.
