== Description ==
== Ingredients ==
Burek
* 1 pkg dry yeast
* 1/4 c lukewarm water
* 1/4 tsp Sugar
* 3 1/3 c all purpose flour
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 3/4 c lukewarm water
* 1/2 melted butter
Filling
* 9 eggs (slightly beaten)
* 1/2 lb crumbled feta Cheese
* 3 TB melted butter
== Directions ==
# Butter a large round pan (15-16 in) and set aside.
# Prepare yeast with 1/4 c lukewarm water and 1/4 tsp Sugar.
# Set aside. Sift flour and salt into large bowl, leaving a well in the middle.
# Add prepared yeast mixture into well. Begin mixing by hand and slowly add lukewarm water.
# Knead until dough forms a ball of medium consistency (approx 10 minutes).
# Divide dough into 14 equal parts, roll into round balls, cover and let stand for 1/2 hour.
# Melt 1/2 lb butter in saucepan.
# Roll out 4 balls into 6 in. circles, stack one on top of the other, brushing each layer with melted butter excluding the top layer.
# Let stand briefly, then roll out on slightly floured table to just a little bit larger than the bottom of your pan.
# Place in pan and brush top with melted butter.
# Mix filling and spread evenly to edge of pan.
# Now roll out one ball as thinly as you can; sprinkle with butter and gather it loosely into folds, and with a slight pull, elongate it.
# Starting from the center of the pan, place this dough over filling, circling it to look like a pinwheel.
# Repeat with remaining balls until you have reached the outer edge of your pan.
# Sprinkle generously with remaining butter.
# Cover with a tea towel and set Burek over a pan of very hot water for about 20 minutes.
# Bake in a preheated oven of 300 deg. for about 45 minutes or until nicely browned.
