Afyonkarahisar Bükmesi was registered as a geographical indication product by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office on December 10, 2020. ### **History and Registration Process** Afyonkarahisar Bükmesi has been traditionally prepared in the region for many years.

The filling consists of minced meat, grated or chopped onions, black pepper, ground red pepper, optionally chili flakes, and salt. After the dough is divided into portions, it is rolled out thinly using a rolling pin. The filling is spread over the dough, which is then rolled and coiled. This rolling process is locally referred to as “bükmek” (to twist or fold), which gives the pastry its name “bükme”. The prepared rolls are placed in a tray, drizzled with vegetable oil, and baked in the oven. ### **Geographical Limitations and Traditional Use** Afyonkarahisar Bükmesi can only be referred to by this name if it is produced within the borders of Afyonkarahisar province. According to its geographical indication registration, the product must be prepared using traditional methods and specific ingredients. It is traditionally served at festive breakfasts, local events, and when hosting special guests. ## Academic Sources and References 1.
