Börek

Cultural Context

Börek has roots in the Ottoman Empire, where it became a staple in both savory and sweet forms. Traditionally enjoyed during celebrations and gatherings, this flaky pastry symbolizes hospitality and abundance. Today, börek is embraced in various cultures across the Balkans and Middle East, with each region adding its unique twist, from fillings to preparation methods.

1

Welcome to my kitchen. Today, I will prepare a delicious börek without solid fat.

2

In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of water.

3

Add 1 cup of milk to the mixing bowl.

4

Add 1 packet of baking powder.

5

Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.

6

Add 75 grams of butter to the mixture.

7

Set aside 1 teaspoon of salt to mix with the flour later.

8

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixing bowl.

9

We will add between 5 to 5.5 cups of flour to achieve a non-sticky dough.

10

Knead until you have a smooth dough that doesn't stick to your hands.

11

I will use a little more than 5 cups of flour, depending on the quality of the flour.

12

Once the dough is smooth, divide it into pieces and let them rest.

13

I will prepare 9 pieces, about the size of a large mandarin.

14

Cover the pieces with a plastic bag to let them rest for about 10-15 minutes.

15

For the filling, I will use 250-300 grams of dry cheese and chop a handful of parsley into it.

16

I will not use solid fat for the layers of the börek.

17

I have 1 cup (200 ml) of liquid oil for this recipe.

18

I will use starch for rolling out the dough instead of flour.

19

The dough has a great consistency and does not stick.

20

When rolling out the dough, turn it clockwise continuously.

21

I started with a small rolling pin, but you can also use a larger one.

22

I prefer using a rolling pin as I am used to it.

23

When rolling, sprinkle starch on the edges to prevent sticking.

24

Wrap the dough around the rolling pin to avoid it sticking together.

25

Be quick while rolling out the dough to prevent it from tearing.

26

The first layer of dough is ready.

27

I will brush it with oil instead of using solid fat.

28

Make sure to oil every layer.

29

After rolling out all the dough, cover them with a cloth.

30

Once all layers are rolled out, oil the top layer and make a cut in the center.

31

Add plenty of filling to the cut area.

32

You can also prepare this börek with ground meat if you prefer.

33

Seal the edges to prevent the filling from leaking out.

34

Place the börek on a baking tray.

35

For the topping, mix 2 tablespoons of oil with 1 tablespoon of milk and brush it on top.

36

Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C until it rises, then lower to 180°C until golden brown.

37

The börek is ready and looks amazing!

38

I will show you the layers and the sound it makes when you break it.
