Serpme Börek is Antalya's spectacular and highly skilled contribution to the world of Turkish savory pastries. Its preparation is a true performance, as the baker 'throws' (serpme) and spins the dough until it becomes a massive, translucent sheet that is almost see-through. This paper-thin dough is then folded with a variety of fillings, most traditionally minced meat and onions or a salty cheese blend. It is baked until it reaches a level of crispness that is unmatched by other varieties of börek, resulting in a shatteringly delicate texture. In Antalya, this is a beloved breakfast and lunch tradition that is best enjoyed fresh from the oven with a glass of strong Turkish tea.
