Tel Tel Poğaça: A Turkish Delight You Can Make at Home!

Hey there, fellow foodies! Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure to Turkey with me today as we bake up a storm of **Tel Tel Poğaça**. These flaky, layered pastries are a staple in Turkish cuisine, and trust me, once you sink your teeth into their buttery goodness, you'll understand why! This recipe is a **step-by-step guide** adapted from a **wonderful Turkish chef**, so even if you're a baking newbie, you'll be whipping these up like a pro in no time. Let's get started!

### Ingredients You'll Need:

* **For the dough:**
* 1 packet instant yeast (or 1/2 packet fresh yeast)
* 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
* 1 cup warm water
* 1 cup warm milk
* 1 cup vegetable oil (reserve 1 tablespoon for later)
* 2 cups all-purpose flour (approximately)
* 1 teaspoon salt
* Additional flour for dusting and kneading
* **For the filling:**
* You can choose any filling you like! (The video doesn't specify the filling, allowing for your own creativity.)
* **For the butter mixture:**
* 125 grams melted butter
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* **For the egg wash:**
* 1 egg yolk
* A splash of milk
* **For topping:**
* Nigella seeds
* Sesame seeds

### Let's Get Baking!

1. **Activate the yeast:** In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, warm water, and warm milk. Stir gently and let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast is foamy.
2. **Add the wet ingredients:** Pour in the vegetable oil (remember to reserve 1 tablespoon for later!) and mix well.
3. **Gradually incorporate the flour:** Add 2 cups of flour and the salt to the bowl. Start kneading the dough, adding more flour gradually until it comes together into a smooth, non-sticky ball. **Tip:** The amount of flour needed may vary, so add it slowly and adjust as needed.
4. **Knead and rest:** Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it's elastic and smooth. Pour the reserved tablespoon of oil over the dough, cover the bowl, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. **Prepare the butter mixture:** While the dough is rising, melt the butter and mix it with the vegetable oil. Set aside.
6. **Shape the dough:** Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Divide it into 9 equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball. Cover the balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 5 minutes.
7. **Roll and layer:** Using a rolling pin or a pastry sheet, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle. Brush generously with the melted butter and oil mixture. Fold the circle in half and then in half again to form a triangle shape.
8. **Fill and roll:** If using a filling, place a spoonful in the center of each triangle. Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle to form a crescent shape.
9. **Prepare for baking:** Arrange the Tel Tel Poğaça on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently press down on each pastry to flatten it slightly. Let them rise for another 20 minutes.
10. **Egg wash and topping:** In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle with nigella seeds and sesame seeds.
11. **Bake to perfection:** Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the Tel Tel Poğaça for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

### Enjoy!

Your Tel Tel Poğaça are ready to be devoured! Serve them warm and watch them disappear in minutes. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack with a cup of Turkish tea.
