Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 150 milliliters Water
• 100 grams Butter
• 300 grams Feta cheese
• 1 bunch Parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs and water. Mix until it forms a dough.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough rests, prepare the filling by crumbling the feta cheese into a bowl and mixing it with chopped parsley. Set the filling aside.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into thin circles roughly the size of your baking dish.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare another large bowl with cold water for blanching.

Step 6

Carefully boil each sheet of dough for 30 seconds, then transfer it to the cold water to cool. Remove from the water and pat dry with a clean towel. Repeat for all sheets.

Step 7

Butter a baking dish generously. Place one sheet of dough on the bottom and brush with melted butter. Layer three more sheets, brushing each with butter as you go.

Step 8

Spread the cheese and parsley filling evenly over the layered dough.

Step 9

Top with the remaining sheets of dough, brushing each with butter. Reserve some melted butter to brush on the top layer.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the Su Böreği for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Let the Su Böreği cool slightly before cutting into squares or rectangles. Serve warm and enjoy!
