Water Pastry Su Boregi Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mystic_river1 / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago As strange as it may sound, “water pastry” could be a literal translation for this dish’s name. But it really does not capture the meaning well. Hand rolled dough and boiled, so that is where the name water pastry originated.Layered with oil a... More Prep:30m Cook:50m Servings:8	Mystic_rive

Ingredients

Dough

=====

4 eggs

2.5 cups flour (could be a bit more, depending on the flour you use)

1 teaspoon salt

about 1/3 cup water

-----------

for rolling:

========

1/2 cup flour and starch, each.

----------

Mixed filling:

==========

10oz) crumbled feta cheese

coarsely chopped cilantro or italian parsley

------------

brush the top with:

===========

1/3 cup melted butter + 1/3 cup olive oil

Directions

Mix the flour and salt, make a well and crack the eggs in the middle. By adding a bit of water, knead the dough well and make a stiff but pliable dough

Divide into 10 balls, 2 of which should be bigger than the rest

While the dough is resting, crumble the feta cheese and mix with finely chopped parsely

Sprinkle your workplace with flour + starch mix, take a small dough and roll it as thin as you can.

Even though one can argue that you should not have any cuts in the rolled dough, I would not lose sleep over it. At the end of the day they will be used as layers and who cares if there is a torn piece of rolled dough

In the mean time, put water (more than a gallon) some salt and olive oil to boil in a big pot.

When you are done rolling the small balls, take a big one, roll it flat and lay it on the greased round baking pan

Before cooking the dough in boiling water, make sure to have another big bowl of very cold water next to it. And you should have a strainer to let it drip when it comes out of this hot + cold bath

Take one of the rolled doughs and dump into boiling water, cook it between 30 secs to 1 min, and pull out of hot water, transfer into cold one.

When it is completely cooled, take it out of there to the strainer. You are welcome to squeeze the dough if you wish — mine didn’t tear a bit.

Transfer it into the round baking dish, brush with the oil mix and do the same with the next rolled dough. After two, three doughs you should also consider putting some of the filling.

In my case I ended up having 3 layers of fillings

The last big one again goes on top without boiling. Brush it with the rest of the oil (or get more olive oil) and bake in a preheated oven at 350F for about 40 - 50 mins, until light brown on the top.

That's it! A bit of time, but different and delicious.
