It is also the dough that is used in making the yufka bread by cooking it on a saj.[1] Yufka is similar to Mexican tortilla, being an unleavened bread, the same term is used in Turkey for a single sheet of filo.Template:Sfn
In 2016, UNESCO recognized the "flatbread making and sharing culture" of Lavash, Katyrma, Jupka, and Yufka as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, shared by Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.[2]
History
Yufka was one of about two dozens of foods made of flour that Turks ate throughout the recorded history. They frequently stacked yufkas (or simply folded one) and added filling in between the layers. In the 11th century, a dictionary described yufka as "folded bread".Template:Sfn The filo eventually evolved from yufka sometime after the conquest of Constantinople, probably invented by the cooks in the Topkapi Palace.Template:Sfn
