This delicious recipe is the original Turkish börek, so Yufka, not puff pastry, is also used.
ingredients
- 1 pound Yufka dough (available in the Turkish supermarket)
- 350 g of natural yoghurt
- 150 ml of milk
- 2 eggs
- 20 ml of olive oil
- 500 g feta cheese (optionally mixed with minced meat or hack instead of cheese or what tastes easy)
- 1/2 bunch of parsley finely chopped
- a little sesame and black cumin
- pinch of salt
preparation
- Oil the baking tray or cover with baking paper.
- Mix the yoghurt, milk, eggs (1 egg yolk) and mix the oil until the oil is completely absorbed. Pinch of salt.
- Crumble sheep's cheese and mix with parsley. You can also use chili or other spices. (If you take hack, of course, this must be seared before, possibly onion and Knobi mitdünsten and mix with tomato paste).
- Now take the first layer of Yufka and place the dough in the middle of the plate. The ends should reach over the edge of the sheet!
- Then add the yoghurt mixture to the dough (just to the edge of the plate). Please do not save it even if it is very fluid. If you use too little, the Börek becomes too dry.
- Now you tear a new dough sheet, so that you can cover the yogurt layer with it. On this layer comes the sheep's cheese or the hack, cover it with dough again, then yogurt, etc., until everything is used up. Finish with the yoghurt mix.
- Then lay the ends of the first layer that go over the sheet edge over the layers just made. Will be packed like a packet.
- Then spread egg yolk over it and spread some sesame and caraway on it.
- Bake in preheated oven (top-bottom heat) at 200 degrees for about 30 minutes.
This snack also tastes cold delicious and is therefore great for preparing for a party. We had meat skewers with various dips and various salads.
Our guests loved it and all wanted the recipe. I hope you like it as much as we do.
