One of Turkish cuisine's more demanding pastries, yaprak böreği is made by hand-rolling paper-thin sheets, layering them with melted butter, and baking until crisp in distinct layers. Rolling the sheets to an even thinness is the step that takes the most practice.

Step by Step

Knead the flour, egg, warm water, oil and salt into a smooth dough.

2

Rest the dough

30 min

Cover the dough with cling film and rest it at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3

Roll out the sheets

35 min

Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll them out, dusted with cornstarch, into paper-thin sheets.

4

Layer and shape

15 min

Brush the sheets with melted butter and stack them, shaping them into a large baking tray.

5

Bake

25 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 190°C for 25 minutes until the layers turn golden.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you freeze the layered, unbaked sheets, you can bake them straight from the freezer whenever you need them.
