MIRACLE OF PHYLLO 😍Crunchy Like Baklava, Melty Like Pide, Layered Like Börek!🤤SO Easy, SO Delicious!

Pide is a perfect Turkish classic; a crispy and thin dough topped with cheese, egg, sucuk and greens and we have already made it together in our channel! But sometimes, even I get lazy and don’t have patience or time and wish for a shortcut to Pide. For those times, börek comes to help. Börek is another Turkish legend with layers of yufka filled with ground meat, cheese or greens. I mashed up these two recipes and came with the idea of börek+ pide= börekide! I used phyllo pastries for this recipe instead of the classic “yufka” so that anyone can make it all around the world and get extra crispy layers for their Börekides. First one is a more traditional version with melting cheese topped with sucuk and the second one will be with, tahini & molasses and ice cream. Sweet or savoury choose your Börekide and enjoy with your loved ones!

Börekide with Kaşar and Sucuk / Savoury Börekide
Servings: 2-3
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 7-8 minutes
Baking time: 18-20 minutes
8 sheets phyllo dough/ pastry
1 teaspoon butter, use coconut oil or olive oil for vegan version
200 g kaşar cheese, grated (to substitute: mozzarella or any melting cheese)
4 slices of sucuk, (a dry, spicy and fermented sausage, you can use any sausage or cured meat of your choice)
1 cherry tomato, sliced
1 small green pepper, sliced
A pinch of black pepper, to garnish
• Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Set aside to slightly cooldown.
• Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F) on upper and lower heat with fan.
• Place a phyllo sheet on your work surface and brush with the melted butter. Place the second layer on top and repeat the same process for the remaining six sheets of phyllo.
• Cut two triangles out from the short sides of the rectangular phyllo layers, by doing so you’ll have a trapezoid.
• You can bake the small pieces as well. They would be great with cheese plates, soups and salads.
• Place the kaşar cheese onto the long side of the pastries. Wrap the sides, then roll. This way you rolled a big wrap filled with cheese.
• Place the wrap on a paper lined oven tray. Be sure that the bottom of the wrap faces the tray.
• Place the tray into the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
• Take it out and make a long cut along the top. Open the sides with two spoons so there will be enough place to fill the top.
• Place the sucuk, tomato and pepper slices on top. You can use whichever topping you wish. You can check our pide video to get some ideas about toppings ( • Legendary PIDE recipe!... )
• Bake for another 8-10 minutes. Take out from the oven and transfer on a serving dish. Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper or any fresh green of your choice. Slice and enjoy the melting cheese with the insane crisp.
Börekide with Tahini, Molasses and String Cheese / Sweet Börekide
Servings: 2-3
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 7-8 minutes
Baking time: 18-20 minutes
6 tablespoon tahini
7 pinches of brown sugar or granulated sugar
3 tablespoons molasses, alternatively, agave syrup, maple syrup or honey would also work great
2 tablespoons milk
150 g Dil peyniri (to substitute: mozzarella)
A handful of roasted peanuts, any nuts would work great
Ice cream, for topping
Fresh mint leaves, to garnish
• Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F) on upper and lower heat with fan.
• Mix 2 tablespoons of tahini with the molasses and mix to blend. Add in the milk and give it a last mix.
• Place a phyllo sheet on your work surface and drizzle the tahini with a pinch of brown sugar. Place the second one on top and repeat, using the remaining six sheets of phyllo.
• Cut two triangles out from the short sides of the rectangular phyllo layers, by doing so you’ll have a trapezoid.
• You can bake the small pieces as well. They would be great with cheese plates, soups and salads.
• Place the cheese onto the long side of the pastries and pour the tahini mixture over the cheese, sparing some for garnishing. Wrap the sides then roll. This way you rolled a big wrap filled with cheese and tahini mixture.
• Place the wrap on a paper lined oven tray. Be sure that the bottom of the wrap faces the tray.
• Place the tray into the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
• Take it out and make a long cut along the top. Open the sides with two spoons so there will be enough place to fill the top.
• Place the peanuts on top. Bake for another 8-10 minutes. Take out from the oven and transfer on a serving dish.
• Place a couple scoops of ice cream and drizzle the remaining tahini mixture. Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Slice and enjoy the magic of tahini and molasses.

Bahar is really growing as a cinematographer. Every video looks better than the one before, she captures such beautiful and crisp shots of the food, but you can also clearly see how much fun she has and the warmth she feels for her family. I love seeing that talent bloom alongside Refika's wonderful and creative cooking.

[@a.humphries8678]

I come to this channel 1st to watch you, you're adorably fun!, and 2nd for the food! This Texas girl is making these soon!! These are ingredients i can get and I think i can do it!!! Thanks!!

I got here in Istanbul last week and can’t believe it how much food varieties Turkey has and tbh I’m intimidated. Ok guys I have to share this, I didn’t know that Refika is famous in Turkey as a chef, I was grocery shopping at some supermarket and saw Refika’s picture on a dairy product and me being a fan, I screamed OMG OMG it’s Refika!!! Then I said she’s my favorite chef and didn’t know that she’s more than a KZbin chef. It was funny the guy at the shop didn’t understand what I was saying but could see my funny reaction and laughed. But yeah this city is full of happiness and Turkish people are very hospitable and amazing. I’m so grateful to be here and live here for the next 3 months y’all

[@atakan9295]

Welcome here!! 😊

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

Yeah, she has her tv cooking show for a long time which isn't much different than her youtube videos. But i like her videos more as it is more casual :)

I love it when everybody crowds around the food: you all remind me of my friend group here. You’re all gorgeous. Love and great blessings upon you from North Carolina, USA.

[@maureenbegas2856]

Aloha from Hawaii!! I am new to your channel and am so excited to cook and create again!! My kitchen inspirations seemed like like “chores” after being home full time to my disabled husband. Previously cooking has always been my passion and joy. Since my cooking requirements are three times per day, seven days a week, it does not seem like fun. I was bored with my own vast recipes. You have lit my fire again and my head us full of variations of what can be done. Your style of cooking is unctuous and so beautiful to look at. Thank you for sharing your inspirations!! I’ll keep on watching for sure!! I have four boxes of phyllo in my freezer that I didn’t feel inspired enough to use. Now in a few minutes, that has all changed, thanks to you and your team! I have already had almost all the ingredients, spices and am excited to use them in a different way!! 🥰. Thank you! 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

Your crew is adorable. Thank you for your channel!

You should have used the song "killing me softly" (with this pie ...) as background music. Looks so delicious 😋🤤

[@theoriginalquinnpiper]

I love the sound of your knife cutting through all the layers of dough! It has been too hot and humid here (MA, USA) to use the oven, but I have been using a lot of tahini. My "invention" - boil ramen noodles for three minutes then add hot noodles to a mixture of 1 tablespoon tahini, 1 Tablespoon sugar, and put in refrigerator til very cold - even almost frozen. This has kept me going in the heat wave. Already on a second jar of tahini! Love to Refika and the entire team :)

[@Refika]

Whoo noodless great idea 👍

[@missvickie101]

Refika, consider sending part of your inventory to a fufillment company in USA. This would reduce shipping charges for customers in North America. The high shipping will likely prevent people from ordering. Your prices are reasonable, but with shipping makes items cost double.

[@foryoutube3567]

I have made baklava forever. I REALLY love your cutting technique to make rolling the cigars so much easier. I would even be applicable to rolling wraps (which are really big in the US) which I usually find too doughy. Also the mid-cook cut to add other bits and pieces. Oh, and using the tahini instead of the butter! I imagine it tastes like halva. I really want to come to Turkey. Your group is so joyful and it looks beautiful. And, of course, the flavors!

I tried tahini with molasses and it has become my favorite to curb my sugar craving. I know it’s a healthier version

[@user-xz4eq2ci6h]

Pekmez and tahini is a known combination here by old people that lived in the 30s 40s these were the old real recipes that were inherited by the Turks in my homeland Bulgaria that was enjoyed with baked pumpkin and molasses was enjoyed in something similar to polenta we call kaçamak which we took from Turkey I guess
