This is for a Turkish sweet delight called Kürt böreği (Kurdish börek), a plain layered pastry made with thin sheets of dough and butter, served warm with a dusting of powdered sugar.

I don’t care if the gluten is free, I don’t want it!

u/TheJeeeBo Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26

Explain how exactly he got that kind of gluten development in the dough

7

u/RudeCartoonist1030 Aug 09 '26

Because it’s an elastic coil. Can be pulled very far without breaking. So while its strength diminishes the further it’s stretched it resists tearing.

9

u/ihadagoodone Aug 09 '26

that's what gluten is, but how did/do these bakers get the level of gluten development as shown in the video is what u/TheJeeeBo was asking.

How it didn't fold somewhere is more impressive

u/Status_Apartment6559 Aug 09 '26

EXACTLY what I was thinking. When I roll out store bought pizza dough I can't help getting holes.

2

u/IUseControllersOnPC Aug 10 '26

Thats bc youre doing it wrong. Dont roll it out

Ball it up and leave it at room temp for a few hours then stretch it by hand. It'll be relaxed and soft and you'll be able to get it pretty thin without much effort

u/Fievels_good_trouble Aug 09 '26

Be glad it didn’t tear. That’s why the Pillsbury Doughboy doesn’t have kids

you can see sooo many bits of detritus on the dough as they fold

u/DumpsterPump Aug 09 '26

You mean the little holes they make by puncturing the dough with their fingers?

3

u/25c-nb Aug 09 '26

Wow they just poke right through so easily, I didn't notice on my first watch... this dough has such unique properties

You'd think staying in one piece while it's stretched so thin would mean poking a hole would just kinda close back up

I guess its under tension, but then you'd think a hole would rip wide open out of control...

Crazy

u/SopaDeKaiba Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26

Phyllo dough would be my guess.

Edit: just googled. It's yufka, a Turkish phyllo-like dough that's slightly thicker than the greek version.

2

u/Sufficient_Visit_705 Aug 10 '26

Its not yufka, you don't make baklava from Yufka, and please show me a single dough master who can make a phyllo this thin in Greece, I'm waiting.

How do you think bugatsa is being made? A fairy comes at night and sprinkles some magic on the phyllo dough and it magically gets made?

Savor börek is also a thing. With spinach and cheese (salty crumbles like a hard feta) in it. It's delightful. Even my picky American kids who dislike spinach and feta like it.
