Begin by making the borek dough using milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and flour, resting it for a while.

Roll out 5-6 layers of the dough with corn starch in between.

Prepare two fillings: one with feta cheese and one with spinach.

Top the rolled dough with a mixture of butter and olive oil before placing it in the oven.

Preheat the oven and bake the borek until golden brown.
