Borek Tuna

Teh Niknik, thank you for sharing the recipe. Hmm...After I tried it , I´ll add kemangi/hairy basil and chillies to give it more spicy and tasty and think to make Borek filled with spinach and minced beef too, next time!. My entry for Magnificent click contest 2009, arranged by Gayathri of just urs.

directions: Place white eggs, yeast, butter, salt, sugar, milk and a half amount of flour into a food processor, mix well. Gradually, add the rest of flour. Turn the dough onto lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and stand in warm place until double in bulk for about 1 hour. Divide the dough into small balls, use a rolling pin to roll the dough about 5 cm in diameter. Fill with tuna filling. Brush with the beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
