If you can find the necessary ingredients for this lamb börek recipe, including roughly 12 nice sheets of phyllo pastry, you’ll find that it’s much simpler to create than it first appears. It’s all because of dough that was made to be soggy. That is correct! After lightly hydrating the phyllo with an egg, yogurt, and butter wash, baking results in layers that are pliable, delicious, and externally crunchy.
