Knead the yeasted dough and rest it for 35 minutes.
Prepare the filling by mixing the ground meat, onion, and pomegranate molasses.
Divide the dough into small balls and open each one in your palm.
Spread the filling over the dough pieces, leaving the edges open.
Bake the pastries in a 200°C oven for 25 minutes, keeping the meat surface from drying out.
Rest the Kaytaz boreks for 5 minutes and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Press the meat filling onto the dough as you spread it; this keeps the topping attached while it bakes.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with sumac onion salad and ayran.
