Traditional burek recipe: a taste of bosnian heritage

Burek, a savory pastry, is more than just a dish; it's a cultural experience in Bosnia. The traditional recipe involves a multi-generational ritual, connecting people to their roots. To prepare, mix flour, salt, and water to create a smooth, elastic dough. Divide the dough into 3-4 balls, coat with oil, and let rest for at least 30 minutes. Season ground meat with salt, pepper, and finely chopped onion. Roll out each dough ball until translucent, sprinkle with oil, spread the filling, and roll up. Arrange the burek in a circular baking dish, cover with a metal lid, and bake with embers on top for 30-40 minutes until golden brown. Serve with yogurt or sour cream.
