The Art of making Burek
The tradition of Burek dates back 5 centuries, and the recipe has stayed unchanged since the beginning. The recipe is very simple, all we need is Flour, Water, Salt and Oil.
Burek was founded in Turkey and then transferred over to Macedonia, more specifically in the Balkans. Burek has been part of our traditional and authentic kitchen in Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Slovenia.
My passion for Burek started over 10 years ago, I started working in my father’s bakery as a 16 year old teenager.
There are three parts in the Burek making process.
First part is: mixing the flour and water until you get the ideal texture of the dough, the temperature plays a big part in getting the dough just right. If the humidity is higher you need less water, if the humidity is lower you need more water, there isn’t an exact recipe that we follow, everything is based on feel. My father would always say “You’ll feel the weather and you’ll mix the dough”.
The target in second part is to get the structure of the Burek just right and to strengthen the elasticity. The shaping of the dough balls ideally needs to be smooth.
In between parts 2 and 3 the dough needs to stay in butter overnight for approximately 6-8 hours.
Last part is the last and most important. Getting a rhythm and being consistent is crucial, at this point, the dough is very gentle and elastic that even a little bit of carelessness could cause the dough to break.
From the very beginning I developed an appreciation for the process of Burek making, it doesn’t feel like work when you have a genuine love for what you do. To become a master of Burek it takes years of experience.
My goal for Burek is to be one day globally recognised.

This is the way my mom made it. Born in the former Yugoslavia (now Serbia) great memories. Delicious.

I'm Mexican but this beats out any burrito, taco, and tamale I've ever ate. Burek is such an underrated food

LETS GO BUREK
This gastronomic specialty, which may be found in the cuisines of many Balkan countries, that used to be part of the Ottoman Empire, is of special significance to Nis, since the first “round” burek was made here."The history data says that it was made by Istanbul baker Mehmed Oglu in 1489. Since then, in Serbia, the burek is known as a dish made of dough, filled with cheese or meat, made in a round baking tray

It's not a recipe video. It's a promotional video. Look up the dozens if not hundreds of recipes videos, each with their own local or even family twist, if you're interested in making it..

You have really bad knowledge about Burek. The burek is not Coming from Turkey. 5 centuries the Turkish empire took the Balkan unter their properties and the hold them long time. Bulgaria is the country of Burek und the name ist Banitsa, our cheese and our Joghurt! Turkey doesn’t have Jogurt as well! All the world know the Joghurt is Bulgarian, and the Bulgarian cheese is made with the same Bakterie! Banitsa is Bulgarian traditional meal since 600-800 year, Turkey found it in 1300-1400 year, that’s why behind us!
