Crispy Turkish Borek with Less Oil

Ingredients

Dough

  • 400 grams flour
  • 4 tablespoons semolina
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 160 grams yogurt
  • 120 ml water

Filling

  • 300 grams ground meat
  • 1 grated onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup water

For frying

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Preparation

  1. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to the size of a medium plate. For crispy borek, roll it thinly; for fuller borek, roll to medium thickness.

  2. Place the meat filling on the rolled dough and fold it.

  3. To ensure the edges stick well, cut them neatly with a lid or pizza cutter to prevent them from opening during frying.

  4. Heat the oil in a deep pan until hot.

  5. Fry the borek in the hot oil until golden and crispy.
