Börek inwards Turkish linguistic communication is whatsoever pastry made amongst yufka or commonly known every bit phyllo/filo. Borek comes inwards many forms as well as tin hold out filled amongst a diversity of fillings, but the traditional ones are commonly spinach, cheese as well as minced meat.They tin hold out either fried or baked. You tin read close the dissimilar types of Borek here
The 1 I made today is kol böreği as well as it agency 'arm borek' or arm pastry. It is rolled long as well as tin hold out coiled or shaped into zigzags on the pan. I volition larn for ringlet every bit I similar anything that resembles flowers.
Phyllo is real expensive here. I bought my box of Phyllo for RM19.40 as well as it is made inwards Australia. I wonder how much is it inwards Australia, hence adjacent fourth dimension I'll ask my relatives to convey dorsum for me. One box has quite an amount of pastry and I exclusively used nine pieces this time. I am thinking of what to produce next... to a greater extent than West Asian pastries... or perhaps Apple Strudel instead.....Hmm hmm....
I made this for dinner as well as it was yummy! I couldn't determine on exclusively 1 filling as well as hence I made 2, all baked inwards the same pan. I asked wife which 1 did he prefer as well as he couldn't determine every bit he liked them both a lot. For me, I prefer the beef filling. We didn't contend to complete it during dinner, as well as but it was all gone yesteryear supper.
One mistake I did today was I made every bit good footling egg glaze. I should've made more,and finished it amongst the concluding spell of phyllo. I didn't desire to crevice to a greater extent than or less other egg as well as so, I but brushed the transcend amongst a generous amount of olive oil. It didn't hold off every bit golden every bit quick every bit it should as well as hence I extended the baking time. The recipe below was a jacked upward amount of egg glaze every bit I didn't have enough.
I tried 1 time stacking two sheets of phyllo for rolling as well as it didn't work every bit good every bit folding 1 spell into half. Maybe this was my get-go fourth dimension using phyllo as well as am non familiar amongst its 'temperament'. Next fourth dimension I'll produce better
To arrive hold off to a greater extent than interesting, you lot tin sprinkle to a greater extent than or less sesame seeds over, something that I forgot.
