I had a package of frozen spinach and left over fresh spinach. I boiled a half cup of water, added frozen spinach, some vegetable oil, covered it up, until unfrozen. Then turned the heat off and added fresh spinach covered them up until they got tender. (or instead , you use 2 package of frozen spinach) !In a small pot, I heated 2 spoonfuls of oil, chopped dry onions and sautéed until onions got softer. Turned it off, cooled and added feta, salt and pepper. Mix this cheese and spinach in a bowl, keep it ready for filling. At this point you can boil potatoes if you want to make Böreks with potato too!

The dough has risen. I made 6 even mandarin-shaped balls, placed them on a floured surface . While you work one of the dough balls, keep covered the other balls to prevent them drying out.

Place the filling on each of the quarters on the perimeters. Start rolling each section. Set the oven to 370F

Cigar Börek Cigar Börek
We eat sigara böregi with tea.or as part of "meze "with rakı. You can find yufka pastry leaves in a Turkish or Mediterranean grocery store, as a whole or triangle shape. But when you open it, your dough will expose to air and can get dry very quickly. I recommend you to use all the dough do not keep in the fridge after you open it. When you open use a damp cloth to cover the dough until you finish preparing. I fried "sigara boregi " but you can simply put it into oven and bake them. You can use potatoes for stuffing or spinach,

Spinach Pie - Börek (Turkish Food) Spinach Pie - Börek (Turkish Food)
"Börek" is the generic name for Turkish pies.There's various kinds of these pies, but this is the most popular.In Turkey, they use flatbread, but in Japan, I make do with spring roll wrappers.The baking dish should be about the size of the spring roll wrappers, but to keep the egg mixture from boiling over, it's best to use a rather tall dish.Other than the spinach and cheese, you can also stuff this with fillings such as white cheese & parsley or ground meat & potato.

Orange Brioche Orange Brioche
I originally had a similar bread at Kobeya Restaurant which I loved and decided to recreate it. The Kobeya version is somewhat greasier and richer than my version, but in my opinion, as for the orange color and taste, it's close enough. I have experimented a number of times and came up with this recipe.The dough will rise well, so you might need to use a larger mold. Recipe by Osshosan -
