Karaköy Güllüoğlu
The Güllü Family has been making baklava since the 1800s. It is known that the first person to start baklava in the family was Hacı Mehmed Güllü, known as "Güllü Çelebi" in Gaziantep. Güllü Çelebi, who entered the confectionery profession in Gaziantep, went to Aleppo and Damascus, which are the most advanced regions in confectionery, in order to advance in the profession and stayed for six months and learned the intricacies of baklava. When he returned to Gaziantep, he set up a baklava counter. After Güllü Çelebi's death, his son Hacı Mahmud Güllü continued his father's profession and started making baklava from thin dough rolled one by one with a rolling pin. When all four sons of Hacı Mahmud Güllü grew up as baklava makers, baklava became a tradition in the Güllü Family.
