The Easiest Way to Make Crispy Turkish Borek at Home – Vegetarian Borek



Today I’m sharing an easy vegetarian cabbage börek made completely from scratch.
This is a beginner-friendly method using just two dough balls and a rolling pin — no mixer, no special equipment, and no complicated steps.

If you’ve always wanted to make homemade börek / borek but felt intimidated, this recipe is a great place to start. The dough is simple to work with, the filling is light and flavorful, and the result is beautifully flaky, crisp on the outside and soft inside.

This cabbage börek is perfect for:
• A vegetarian main or side
• Tea time or brunch
• Make-ahead meals
• Anyone learning how to work with rolled dough

In this video, I’ll walk you through the process step by step, sharing tips to help you get thin layers and a flaky texture — even if this is your first time making börek.

    Ooo this looks delicious! That's such a clever way to layer the dough too – so easy! I imagine this would be tasty with a lentil "minced meat" or a curried sweet potato and walnut filling too. Thank you for sharing and happy holidays!
