Boyoz is a pastry associated with the Sephardic Jewish heritage of İzmir, Turkey, where it is regarded as a characteristic local speciality. Widely identified with the city's culinary culture, it is commercially produced in İzmir and is officially registered as İzmir Boyozu as a geographical indication limited to the province of İzmir. Traditional descriptions of boyoz emphasize a simple layered dough; plain versions are common, although filled varieties are also documented.
