Mix gluten-free flour, salt, and olive oil in a bowl until combined.

Gradually add water and knead until a smooth dough forms.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling by sautéing onions in olive oil until translucent.

Add chosen filling ingredients to the sautéed onions and mix well.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin.

Cut the rolled dough into squares or circles for filling.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each piece of dough.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges by pressing down firmly.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Arrange the filled burek on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Alternatively, heat oil in a skillet and fry the burek until crispy and golden on both sides.
