Au Blé d'or Baklavalik Yufka is a 470 g pack of paper-thin filo pastry sheets. According to the retailer data and the pack, the dough is made from wheat flour, water, corn starch and salt with a preservative, which gives sheets that are thin enough to turn crisp and flaky once brushed with butter and baked. It is the base for the classic Turkish tray of baklava as well as for börek, rolls and savoury pies.
For baklava, layer the sheets in a buttered tray, scatter chopped walnuts or pistachios between the layers, cut before baking and pour cool syrup over the hot tray. For börek, brush each sheet with a mix of milk, oil and egg, add a filling of white cheese and parsley, or spiced mince, and bake until golden. Keep the sheets you are not using covered with a slightly damp cloth so they do not dry out and crack.
The trade listing for this product states that it should be kept refrigerated at around +4°C, so store it as directed on the pack and unwrap it only when your filling and tray are ready. Let the pack come to room temperature before unfolding. The yufka contains gluten from wheat flour, so it is not suitable for gluten-free diets.
