Sigara Böregi

Recipe Description

Cigar Böregi You might know already from your kebab shop around the corner. That are these puff-like rods which are filled with feta cheese. I thought to myself that you can surely easily do it yourself. But think again, I didn’t expected so much effort. I bought prefabricated pastry because I thought to roll out the dough as thin as needed will not worthwhile the effort. But the easy way exposed to be very tricky. You have to separate the leaves from each other and that isn’t that easy cause they glue together. So one after another disrupted. Then I decide to search the web for a solution and learned that they have to be a bit moist. Maybe these instructions are printed on the package, but it’s all in Turkish, so I can’t read it either. Well with the water then it has worked quite well. Patience and some practice will help as well. After that I still didn’t really got perfect pieces, but good enough for filling. And so we come to name sigara böregi. This name comes from the fact that the filling is rolled up like a cigar.
