Serbian burek
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The classic Serbian burek recipe calls for filo dough, but I prefer using store-bought dough. Filo dough needs to be made from scratch, stretched by hand, which takes a long time. This version, however, is prepared quite quickly. You can also make a meat filling using ground meat. I hope this simple recipe for Serbian burek will help diversify your menu and that you'll enjoy the result. Good luck! The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
