Bereke with cheese
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. I really love pies, and Turkish cuisine is also close to my heart, so I was thrilled when I found this recipe for making cheese borek. Fortunately, there's a Turkish store nearby where I can buy ready-made Turkish dough, and apart from that, there's almost nothing to do here. This pie turns out absolutely amazing—very juicy and filling. And the aroma while baking is simply indescribable. Our small family of three devoured the whole pie in just minutes, so now I make it quite often. Besides, you can make it not only with cheese filling but also with meat. It always comes out delicious. So if you'd like to try this amazing dish, let me tell you how.
