Cheese Borak

Ingredients

1- Flour 2 cups

2- Boiling water 3/4 cup

3- Vegetable oil 1/4 cup

4- Salt 1 tsp.

For the filling:

1- White cheese 200g

2- Chopped Parsley 30g

3- Sesame seeds (optional)

4- Black sesame seeds (optional)

5- Black pepper

Preparation

1- Start by preparing the filling. Crumble your white cheese and mix with the rest of the ingredients. You can use Nabulsi cheese or alternative mix of Feta and Mozzarella.

2- In a mixing bowl add all the dough ingredients and start mixing with a spoon. Be careful not to burn your fingers with the boiling water. Using hot water allows all the ingredients to come together surprisingly easy. Once mixed into dough start working it with your hands. The dough is ready to work with almost immediately.

3- Roll the dough very thinly and cut into rectangles. Spoon some of the cheese mix, fold the dough and press the edges to seal it. You can use a pizza or a ravioli cutter to make the edges pretty (unlike mine!).

4- Deep fry in vegetable oil, drain on a kitchen towel and serve warm.
