Su Böreği (Water Börek)

Step by stepInstructions

1. Make the dough: combine the flour, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, warm water, and olive oil in a large bowl. Knead for 8 minutes into a soft, smooth dough, then cover and rest 30 minutes.
2. Divide the dough into 8 balls. Roll each ball out as thin as possible on a floured surface, into a sheet roughly the size of your baking pan.
3. In a bowl, mix the feta, 2 eggs, parsley, and black pepper.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat the oven to 375°F and butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
5. Boil 4 of the sheets, one at a time, for 2 minutes each. Lift each sheet out with a slotted spoon and lay it into the baking dish, brushing with melted butter as you go.
6. Spread the feta filling over the boiled sheets, then boil and layer the remaining 4 sheets on top, brushing each with butter.
7. Pour any remaining butter over the top and bake until deep golden brown, about 40 minutes.
8. Rest 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm.
