Directions

  1. Thaw the dough in advance at room temperature. ≈ 3 min
  2. Crumble the tofu with a fork into a large bowl. Add all the other ingredients, except the sesame seeds, and mix well. ≈ 4 min
  3. Divide the dough into three equal parts. Roll each part out into a rectangle approximately 10 cm wide. ≈ 8 min
  4. Place about one-third of the filling in the center of the rectangle, then fold the edges over to form a roll. Secure the edges with a little water. You can also fill the dough with any other common filling for burekas. ≈ 10 min
  5. Spread the sesame seeds evenly on a baking sheet. You can lightly brush with oil to create a glossy finish. Place the three rolls on the baking sheet, with the folds facing down. ≈ 4 min
  6. Using a knife, make several diagonal cuts across the top of the rolls. Bake in a preheated oven (approximately 180 °C) for 25 minutes.
