About the dish

Su böreği, which translates to water börek , is a variety of Turkish borek that has a reputation as being one of the most difficult boreks to prepare. It is traditionally filled with cheese and parsley. The dough sheets need to be soaked in a combination of water, olive oil, milk, and eggs before baking, making the borek tender and juicy, hence the name. Su böreği can be found at most borek shops throughout the country.
