Borek inspired Pinwheels

Borek inspired Pinwheels

I was flipping through Turkish Express by Hale Amus and was inspired to use a store bought dough to make borek. The AH has a rectangle XXL pizza dough that seemed perfect! (I tried it first with the round one which is a bit of a hassle shape wise, so go big!). These come together in the time it takes the oven to heat up, and S loves making them with me. I add Citir Biber to half and keep half spice free. 

Ingredients

  • Store bought pizza dough - rectangle if you can find it
  • Feta (1 regular store size block)
  • Spinach (about 200g fresh)
  • Fresh herbs, finely cut - I use what's in the fridge or garden, mint, coriander, parsley, dill are all great options. 
  • Citir Biber 

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C 
  2. Quickly wilt the spinach - I throw it all in the hapjespan with 2 tablespoons water, cover with a well fitting lid and turn on the heat. In 3 minutes it's soft. Rinse well to cool it down, then use your hands to squeeze out the water. 
  3. Unroll your dough, 
  4. Spread the spinach over it. 
  5. Crumble the feta over
  6. Sprinkle the herbs
  7. Drizzle Citir Biber on the amount adults will eat
  8. Tightly roll it up
  9. Slice into 2cm thick rounds
  10. Place on a silicon or parchment lined baking tray
  11. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown
