Go to the kitchen to see how they make burek.

The dough is stretched on a table, and if it rips, it's still usable.

The filling can include cheese, minced meat, or spinach.

The stretched dough is rolled with the filling inside to make a pie.

The burek is then placed on a pan with some oil before baking.

It takes 25 minutes to prepare the dough and 20 minutes to bake in the oven.
