So excited to share this crunchy layered, buttery, feta cheese-filled borek recipe from scratch! Don’t worry there is an easy way to make all these thin phyllo dough layers together.
This borek recipe is called “baklava borek” because of the look, taste, and similar method of making it. We will use starch to make the layers and in a short time, it will be ready to put in the oven.
For the dough
- 1/2 cup lukewarm water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (olive or sunflower or any kind)
- 1 large egg
- 4½ cup all-purpose flour first put 3+1/2 cup and use more to make a soft unsticky playable dough
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 200gr. wheat or corn starch or more
For pouring over the borek dough: 150gr. butter or mix of 1/3 of it with vegetable or olive oil
For the feta cheese filling:
- 250gr. Turkish white cheese or mixed with some mozzarella or kashar or any kind of melting cheese
- 1/3 bunch parsley finely chopped
Filling Options For Borek Recipe:
You can make any filling with the borek such as cooked onion and ground beef filling seasoned with salt and black pepper. Or again stir-fried onion and mashed potatoes seasoned with red pepper flake and salt (i might do another video for the fillings) or even spinach filling would be lovely and traditional also to go with this borek recipe…
