Yufka
Paper-thin dough used for gözleme and börek; similar to phyllo but sturdier.
Dürüm: lavaş & yufka
Wrap (International)
The international wrap is the roll that deliberately is not a dürüm: a Western flour tortilla carrying Caesar chicken or falafel, sold in the city café where the menu is half in English.
Vegan Dürüm
Vegan dürüm is the plant-only reading of the Turkish wrap: falafel or lentil köfte rolled in lavaş with tahini and sumac onion, where seasoning and acid do the work the meat would.
Tavuk Dürüm
The grilled chicken dürüm: marinated fillet or skewered cubes cooked over open fire, charred at the edges and rolled tight in warm lavaş. The fire-grilled wrap, not the cone-shaved chicken döner.
Soslu Dürüm
Soslu dürüm builds the sauce into the roll: a ribbon of garlic yogurt or chili along the filling line of a warm lavaş, dosed to what the bread holds. Ankara's SSK carries İskender sauce in the wrap.
Sigara Böreği Dürüm
A wrap built around another fried pastry: crisp sigara böreği, the white-cheese yufka cigars, rolled inside warm lavaş so each bite passes through soft bread and then cracks into a hot tube of cheese.
Sebze Dürüm
Vegetable wrap; grilled or fresh vegetables.
Sarımsaklı Dürüm
A Turkish wrap that promotes the condiment to headline: shaved meat rolled in lavaş, but built around sarımsaklı sos, raw garlic mashed to paste and beaten into yogurt and mayonnaise.
Peynirli Dürüm
Cheese wrap; various cheeses with vegetables.
Patlıcan Dürüm
Eggplant wrap; grilled or fried eggplant.
Patates Kızartması Dürüm
The all-starch Turkish dürüm: hot french fries rolled into warmed yufka on their own, no meat, dressed with ketchup, pul biber, and pickles. The cheapest order on the dürüm board.
Lavaş
Lavaş is the thin, near-translucent wheat sheet baked against a clay oven wall in seconds, the soft wrapper at the center of the Turkish dürüm, and named on the UNESCO heritage lists.
Lahana Sarma
Stuffed cabbage rolls; eaten with bread.
Kuzu Pirzola Dürüm
Lamb chop meat wrapped in lavaş.
Közlenmiş Sebzeli Dürüm
Fire-roasted vegetable wrap; charred vegetables.
Közlenmiş Patlıcan Dürüm
A meatless Turkish wrap built on smoke: a whole eggplant charred black over coals, peeled, the silky scorched flesh mashed and rolled in thin lavaş on a street of grilled meat.
Kahvaltı Tabağı Dürüm
Breakfast plate items in wrap; modern concept.
Humus Dürüm
Hummus wrap; chickpea spread with vegetables.
