Su böreği ("water börek") is a dish in Turkish cuisine.
Sheets of dough are boiled briefly in large pans, then a mixture of beyaz peynir or künefe peyniri and parsley.[1] Some recipes call for minced meat, onions, tomato sauce. The dish is built in layers, with oil between the layers. The whole thing is brushed with butter and laid in a masonry oven to cook.
Water borek is traditionally served for special occasions such as holidays and important life events such as circumcisions, engagements, and weddings.[1] It is one of the most common types of borek found in Turkey.[1]
