A classic Balkan pastry made by rolling thin pastry sheets around a seasoned ground beef filling and arranging them in a spiral before baking. Its crisp exterior and juicy, hearty center make it a favorite for dinner and for serving guests.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the filling

10 min

Knead the ground beef with the grated onion, salt, black pepper, and Turkish red pepper flakes. The filling is mixed raw; it is not cooked first.

2

Fill and roll the pastry sheets

15 min

Spread a thin strip of filling over each pastry sheet and roll it loosely. Cover the sheets with a damp towel to keep them from drying out.

3

Arrange in a spiral

10 min

Starting at the center, coil the rolls into a spiral in a greased round baking pan. Press the edges together firmly.

4

Brush the top and bake

45 min

Whisk the yogurt, milk, and egg together and pour over the pastry. Bake in a preheated oven until golden.

Reminder

Cover any pastry sheets you are not using with a damp towel so they do not dry out and crack when rolled. Drain the ground beef well; excess liquid can make the bottom of the pastry soft and doughy. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), milk and dairy products, and egg.

Ölçüleri göz kararı yaptım, biraz tuzlu oldu.

Bu sorunu genelde erken açmak çözüyor, üzerini geç açmayı deneyin.
