Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Brown ground beef in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat; stir in allspice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Transfer beef to a large bowl and stir in potato and onion.
- Unroll phyllo pastry and transfer 2 sheets to a work surface; stack sheets. Spoon 1/8th of the ground beef mixture down one long edge of the phyllo pastry. Roll phyllo into a tube, encasing beef. Shape the tube into a coil (snail shape). Place the roll on an ungreased baking sheet; brush with melted butter. Repeat, placing finished rolls up against one another to keep them from unrolling.
- Bake burek in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

TRADITIONAL ROLLED BUREK (BOREK) RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-low to medium heat and add the oil.
- Sauté the onion until soft and then add the ground beef, allspice , paprika , salt , and pepper to taste.
- Cook until the meat is crumbly but not dry. Cool completely before you continue. While ground beef mixture is cooling, preheat oven to 375 F.
- Once cooled, lay one sheet of phyllo dough on the counter. Keep the remaining sheets of phyllo dough covered with a damp kitchen towel, and work quickly to prevent it from drying out.
- Brush sheet with some of the melted butter. Place a heaping 1/3 cup of meat mixture on the sheet along the long side, 2 inches from the edge.
- Fold the bottom over the meat mixture and roll into a snake shape. Cut the roll in half and coil each roll into a snail shape.
- Place rolled dough and ground beef pinwheel on a nonstick baking sheet and butt the end up against the edge of the pan to prevent uncoiling. Brush with additional butter. Continue until you've used all the ground beef.
- Bake in a preheated oven 15 to 20 minutes or until just golden. A hint for handling phyllo dough: Be sure the dough is at room temperature before you open the box. Place the sheets of dough on a large cookie sheet and cover them with plastic wrap and then a heavy towel. In this way, they will not dry out while you are working with them. Work fast for best results and do not have the butter too hot when brushing the dough.

Steps:
- Take a large bowl and combine the flour and the salt
- Add the water bit by bit, mixing until the mixture forms a dough
- Knead the dough for around five minutes, until it turns quite stretchy
- Split the dough mixture into batches of four and press down to flatten
- You need to find a bowl or a pan which is large enough to hold the dough when it is piled up on top of each other
- Add a little bit of vegetable oil to the pan or bowl and put the first flattened piece of dough inside
- Add a bit more oil (not too much), and add another piece of dough - repeat until you've done the same with all four pieces
- Add more vegetable oil on top of the last piece and place to one side to rest
- Preheat your oven to around 200°C (390°F)
- Add a little vegetable oil over your work surface (a table is best) - just a little!
- Remove one piece of dough from the bowl and remove the excess oil
- Flatten the piece of dough until it reaches a thickness of no more than around half a centimeter
- Handle the dough and stretch it outwards, over and over, so that you pull it to around 1 meter in diameter - you might end up with a few holes but don't worry about it too much. By the end, you should be able to see through the dough
- Take one side of the dough disc and fold it over, towards the center
- Repeat this process until you have a shape that resembles a pentagon
- Repeat with the second piece of dough
- Add your filling (see below for the filling instructions) to the dough piece
- Add the first piece of stretched dough into the middle of the second one, and cut away the thick edge of the second piece - you can throw this away, you won't need it
- Fold over the edges of the dough, so that you get a pentagon shape once more, and put it into a baking pan or tray
- Put the pan in the oven and bake for around half an hour, until it is a golden color
- Remove from the oven and let it cool down
- Cut into 12 pieces
- Repeat the process with the rest of the dough
- Bake until the pastry turns golden, and serve while warm!
- Take a mixing bowl and add in both kinds of cheese, combining together
- Add the egg and combine once more
- Take a large pan and heat up the oil over a medium heat
- Add the onion and cook until soft
- Now, add the mince and cook for around 2 minutes, stirring regularly
- Now, add the potato, the rosemary, the garlic, and the paprika, and stir to combine
- Add the salt and continue to cook, ensuring the beef mince is cooked through
- Once cooked, drain the beef with a sieve to get rid of any excess oil and press down to dry it out
TURKISH BOREK
Steps:
- In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the peppers, pul biber and onions, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the beef and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 15 minutes. Transfer the vegetables and meat to a bowl and let cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lightly oil a 9- by 13-inch glass baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and 1/2 cup of the canola oil. Lay a sheet of yufka on a work surface and brush with the egg mixture; repeat until you have a stack of 2 sheets. Transfer the stack to the baking dish and spread one-third of the beef mixture on top. Repeat the layering twice more with the brushed yufka sheets and beef filling, then end with a stack of brushed yufka.
- Trim the overhanging yufka slightly and tuck it under itself. Brush any remaining egg mixture on top of the borek, top with the nigella sativa seeds and bake until deeply golden on top and sizzling, about 45 minutes. Let the borek rest for 20 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
CHEESE BUREK
On a recent holiday to Istria, Croatia (a 2 ½ hour drive from the Venice airport) we discovered that many bakeries feature a Baltic pastry called burek. Some versions are filled with cooked meat, but the cheese pastries, shaped like a snail and with phyllo as the pastry base, were most delectable.While the actual type of cheese was difficult to discern (and I ate many as "research") I've found that using pressed dry cottage cheese at home works very well and has a similar texture.Makes 24 pastries.

Steps:
- For the dough, measure the flour and salt into a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the water and mix, starting on low speed and then increasing to medium-low, continue to mix for a minute before adding the butter, then mix until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes more. Wrap the dough in plastic and set on the counter to rest for 2 hours (or the dough can be made and chilled overnight, but let sit on the counter to warm to room temperature).
- For the filling, beat the cottage cheese to break it down a little (it will not be creamy) and stir in the eggs, garlic, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle your hands and work surface with a good dusting of cornstarch. Unwrap the dough and coat it with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Slowly start stretching the dough out and dusting with cornstarch when needed (this makes the dough handle very well and feel silky). Keep stretching the dough out to a thin sheet, so thin you could read this recipe through it, and don't worry if there is a small hole or two. Trim the edges of the dough (this can be re-rolled, after resting it) and cut the pastry into 4 or 8 square sheets.
- Brush the entire surface of the pastry squares with butter and sprinkle lightly with breadcrumbs. Spoon the cheese filling in a small (1-inch/2.5 cm) line along one side of each square and roll up, stretching out the pastry and filling as you go. Spiral the pastry up and tuck under the end piece. Place the pastries onto the baking tray, brush with eggwash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake the bureks for about 30 minutes, until the pastry is a rich golden brown. Let the pastries cool for 15 minutes before enjoying, or cool to room temperature.
SERBIAN BEEF BUREK (BUREK SA MESOM)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large skillet, sauté the onion and ground chuck over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are translucent.
- Drain in a colander .
- Return the meat-onion mixture to skillet and add the parsley, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute, mixing thoroughly. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch pan with cooking spray . Separate the phyllo dough into 2 piles (approximately 10 to 14 sheets each) and keep covered so they don't dry out. Half will go on the bottom of the pie and half will go on the top.
- Place 2 sheets in the prepared pan and brush lightly with oil, folding in any overhanging edges. Add 2 more sheets and brush with oil. Continue until you've used one pile of phyllo.
- Spread the cooled ground chuck mixture evenly over the phyllo, pushing up to the edges. Begin covering the meat with the remaining phyllo, again using 2 sheets at a time and brushing with oil. Continue until all of the phyllo is used.
- Brush the entire top lightly with oil. Using a serrated knife and a sawing motion, cut burek all the way to the bottom into 12 squares.
- In a medium bowl, mix the eggs with the yogurt and soda water . Pour over the burek. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
