HOW TO MAKE KÜRT BÖREĞİ

-First, place the flour into a deep bowl and create a well in the center.

-Add the yogurt, 2 eggs, and vegetable oil into the well. Sprinkle the baking powder over the flour and knead thoroughly, mixing the center of the well first and then the outer parts. The dough should be soft, with the consistency of an earlobe; therefore, if the dough is too firm, a little warm water can be added.

-Set aside a piece of the prepared dough to cover the top later, and divide the remaining dough into 20 pieces and roll them into balls. After letting the dough rest for half an hour, roll them out until they are the size of a dessert plate using a little flour, and stack all the rolled-out dough pieces on top of each other, brushing soft butter between each layer.

-The 20 pieces of buttered and stacked dough are rolled out all at once with a rolling pin until they reach the size of the baking tray. Spread a little more butter over the rolled-out dough, roll it up tightly into a log shape.

-Divide the prepared log-shaped dough into 3 pieces and let them rest in the refrigerator for another hour. Remove the rested dough from the refrigerator, press down on it, roll it out to the size of the tray, and place it in the tray. After applying the same process to all 3 pieces of dough, spread a little more margarine on top and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

-Roll out the piece of dough set aside for the top layer thinly and place it on top like a lid. Bake the prepared Kürt böreği in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until the top is golden brown.

-Once baked, cut the Kürt böreği into rectangular pieces and serve with plenty of powdered sugar sprinkled on top.
