Su Böreği Sheets (Water Borek Pastry Sheets)

Water borek sheets are made from an egg-enriched dough that is thicker than baklava pastry sheets. After briefly boiling the sheets in water, they are layered to make water borek (Turkish layered savory pastry). The boiling step gives the pastry a soft, moist texture.

Where It’s Used

“Blanch the water borek sheets in boiling water, transfer them to cold water, then layer them.”
