hi..3 question..is turkish kashar cheese the same as kashkaval? or it similar to kasseri? is sheep milks or cows milk cheese? and what is the purpose of the yogurt in the recipe? thank you..miriam
Hi Miriam,
Kashkaval is not the Kashar cheese.
Kaşar cheese is produced from sheep's or cow's milk.
Yogurt tenderizes the dough and helps keep them moist.
Take care:)
Can I replace Kashar with Mozzarella cheese?
Sure, you can:) But the taste would be better with Kashar or asiago cheese...:)
