  • Boil 16 glasses of salted water in a large saucepan. Add one of the small dough pieces and boil for one minute. Remove it from the boiling water trying not to tear it, and place it first in a bowl of cold water, then on the large crust in the mold, and sprinkle it with starch. Do the same with 4 more pieces of dough.
  • Now spread the filling, either the cheese or the meat preparation over the rough. Take the 4 remaining pieces of dough, prepare them exactly as you did the others, and place them one over the other covering the filling.
  • Finally fold the edges of the large crust toward the center covering the last crust that was put into place 1/2 hour.
  • With a rolling pin, roll one of the pieces to a fine disk, 50 cm. in diameter (double the diameter of the mold). Roll the other pieces to a width of 30 cm. in diameter. On the bottom of the buttered Spread on the remaining butter. Place the borek in a medium oven. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
