Production Method:

The ingredients and production method for producing 40-60 pieces of Eldivan Oil Pastry are outlined below. - 10 kg bread flour - 5 kg water - 500 g bread yeast - 125 g salt - 1 kg melted margarine or butter After kneading flour, yeast, salt, and water in a bowl, divide the dough into pieces weighing 230-240 g. After resting for 20-30 minutes, roll out each piece with a rolling pin into a circular shape with a diameter of 20-25 cm.

Melt margarine or butter and spread it uniformly over the rolled-out dough. Fold the dough in half, with the oily surfaces facing each other, creating a semi-circular shape. Apply oil to the exposed dough surface, then fold the oily surfaces on top of each other to form a quarter-circle. Next, press down on one edge of the dough with fingers, opening it up to form a triangle with a side length of 15-20 cm. Arrange the pastries on a tray, brush them with beaten eggs, and bake them in a preheated stone oven at 225-235 °C for 10-15 minutes. Eldivan Oil Pastries lose approximately 50% of their initial weight during baking. After being removed from the oven, they are cooled to room temperature (18-25 °C) before being served. The shelf life of Eldivan Oil Pastry at room temperature is 3-5 days, and it can last up to 10 days in the refrigerator.
