Safranbolu Bukmesi is a filling pastry that sits somewhere between borek and gozleme in Karabuk cuisine. It is commonly prepared with minced meat, spinach or mixed fillings, and the lightly toasted aroma from the griddle is part of its identity. In Safranbolu homes it is closely associated with guests, journeys and generous family tables.
