Burekas (Jewish Sephardic)
Source: Lior’s Kitchen Talk
Jewish Sephardic BUREKAS is quite similar to the Turkish
“burak.” Burekas can be prepared with various types of dough:
strudel dough (thin leaves), rising dough, or with types of
prepared dough found in the market.
It is widely sold on Israeli
street corners and bakery shops.
To be tasty, it must be served hot
and fresh.
Dough
1/2 pound margarine
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups self-rising flour
Warm water
Stuffing
1/2 cup feta cheese
1 cup cooked spinach
3 egg yolks
Garnish
1 egg yolk
4 cups sesame seeds
Dough: Melt the margarine and mix with flour and salt.
Add warm
water until able to roll dough.
Roll it, cut a leaf, and cut
circles with a cup or cut into square and make triangles.
Stuffing: Mix all the ingredients.
Put one teaspoon of stuffing
on each dough circle.
Fold in half.
On top, spread yolk and
sprinkle sesame seeds.
Place on a well-greased cookie tray and bake
at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) until golden (approximately 15 to
20 minutes).
Serve hot.
