Then, salt and black pepper are added, mixed, and left to cool. Meanwhile, the dough is prepared by kneading flour, yogurt, clarified butter, lemon juice, salt, and water together until a soft consistency is obtained. The dough is divided into walnut-sized pieces, each rolled out to the size of a small tea plate. The minced filling is placed in the center of each piece, and the edges are gathered and closed. During this process, light pressure is applied without squeezing too tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out and to ensure the seam is properly cooked. The shaped pieces are fried in sunflower oil, first with the gathered side facing down, then turned to cook the other side. Once fried, they are removed from the oil and preferably served with [bostana](/en/detay/sanliurfa-bostanasi-bostana-afa96/llms.txt) (a local salad). ### **Geographical Indication** Şanlıurfa ağzı yumuk was registered on August 2, 2022, under registration number 1184, as a geographical indication of the type “designation of origin.” The application was submitted by the Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality, and the registration was granted by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office.
