Thanks James as the lawyers say 'There is no property in a witness' all users of this weird but loveable foodstuff have their own perspective on it - I am married to a Bosnian who made it for the family business for around 30 years and it sure is a staple in these parts.....! thanks for the viewing and the comment - we now live back in Bosnia and Burek making in this form still goes on.
i have been to thousands of food services to inspect, as a volunteer. the Greek (Hellas) use lamb and pork or beef ground with garlic and parsley. they braise it on a stick , and when the fat hits the fire it smells very good! mixing the proteins (milk, meat, eggs) with something else makes more of it to share. every one gets some extra nutrition! (very cheap that way.) - james mcashan for the US Government
thanks.. yes I think you are right - in shops mostly just Bosnia but in homes most of the six republics know how to make it and call it Burek when filled with meat. Thanks for the viewing
@Brian395f yeah, my husband is a Yugoslav, too and my mother in law calls them sirnica when they are full of cheese and egg (my favorite), though they are essentially the same thing with a different filling. She does call it burek when it's full of meat. Are you living in Bosnia? How do you like it? We live int he US but were thinking about moving there. We are socialists, too! :)
@kingdulos Pozdrav to you and your man - we lived in Wokingham from 2002 until 2007 in Jan 2008 (we used to live close to Wokingham Train Station). small world ha ha - we both moved permanently to Livno in Western Bosnia, Bisera is from that town originally - I am a lapsed christian she is a lapsed muslimanka both of us are more socialist in outlook so she has great memories of Bivsi Jugoslavia. if we are back over to visit we must call in to see you and hubby - my best regards Brian
@SemiraBollygirl Very Similar - maybe can be called that even here in Bosnia...thank you for watching have you read any of the previous comments? some agree with you but again some don't - if you come to Bosnia this is Burek if filled with meat, I live in Bosnia have done since Jan 2008 all the shops sell this in this form.

@NatrijumCijanid sorry you are wrong - if it is not Bosnian then it cannot be Kosovo also - it must be from Turkey.... - In reality it is from everywhere so relax my friend..! Also I never said it was Bosnian I said it was Yugoslavian from 6 republics before Kosovo broke from Serbia - I live in Bosnia (have done for three (3) years now) and what you see is being eaten every day in the town of Livno. Also we have family in Recina na reka Bistrica WHO VISIT AND THEY SAY OUR BUREK IS BEST...!
@Brian395f it is not burek ! Börek ... you biritish cant read it but if you know how to read german lanag. you can read it then. cuz german person also can read it. but you dont have ö ü ı in your lang. it is turk .
Thanks Mucker....listen if I could cut and paste more than 500 letters into this I promise you I would but the system doesn't allow...I have done this reply about 6 times openly and personally...to answer you as my missus just said sat beside me - no not with Lard but with margarine (Margo etc) but also for you, try our 2nd video called How to make Burek 1 which on the comments has the solution and recipe ww.youtube.com/watch?v=lpSGuX5xxbc Thanks UFO ADD A w BEFORE THIS ADDRESS
Hey there. I'm trying to make burek at home, but I don't get it something with the dough. Did u soak the dough in a lard for about 30 minutes before stretching?
@HaarigeSache86 I suppose you are right - it would be just regional differences that the Former Jugoslavs make with the ingredients (Bosanski način i tako dalje).
gerçi balkan göçmeni türk asıllı vatandaşalrda büürek der buna :D heralde yüzyıllar boyu yerel slav dillerinini bir şive-aksan gibi bir etki vermesinden dolayı.. :)
@Brian395f Brian we invented it? we=Turks, we also invented çörek but it is not so popular within Slavic people of former Ottoman Empire, I hope this helps :)
@TheDeliBekir Thanks for your good natured reply - I personally think you are correct. Others have their opinions about who started it first but cooking style came from the East and the culture was more advanced in the East until the middle ages in West Europe they were eating with hands mainly meat from roasted animals !
@Brian395f no problem brethren, thing is first Muslim Turkish empire was in India, and Turks went there few occasions and estabilished some states, empires therefore there are so many similarities with punjab region, so all these travelling around the globe effects cuisine somehow. Also Bulgars,Magyars and Tatars used to be Turkish tribes before they intermix with Slavic and local people of Balkans.
My dear brother, names change from one place to another. I have no doubts that Burek or Böğrek is coming from east. It can be Turkey, but it can be some other place... e.g. India, they have Roti Canai which is similarly made and they have Murtabak which is even closer to Burek.
Issue with the name is something that should not be discussed. You Turks have corrupted so many names which are originally in Arabic just like we did corrupt the name Böğrek into Burek.
@materiali79 the idea you put is a good one - yes names are corrupted to fit in with local spelling and because of mistakes some words become something totally different - Arab and maybe Farsi (Persian) were the superpower languages of the East and the Turks adapted the language after the caliphate was made.
@taybong show me in any yugoslav version of Serbo-Croat where the umlauted 'O' (meaning OE) is and I will eat my hat - sorry - you are talking about what you maybe call it elsewhere but in the six former republics of Yugoslavia it is BUREK (in Latino script or similar in Cyrillic script.
Ohh it reminds me so much souvenir of my childhood XD There was a bosnian family that we are friends with them and , the mother prepared this recepy and She Was calling it : Pita Bosniac Hahhahah XD
Hi to all who have so far responded, Everyone in the world claims something and it is a good talking point, there are 6 Billion people some who can cook, they will add / alter, or change ingredients cooking times and the names they call the food.....but for sure the Burek like the Cevapi are very popular in the Balkans
The film was made in the UK but I live in Livno Livanjski Kanton of BiH (Since Jan 2008). The dough and other recipe details we can post to you if required
yes Bosnia and parts of most of former Yugoslavia called it a variety of names but most Bosnians i.e my wife and her family who own a Burekdzinica would probably agree with you 100% - we are watching 10001 Nights as a series in Bosnia episode 14, what beautiful people and what a lovely sounding language, can't wait to visit Istanbul - thanks for your reply, Brian & Bisera, Livno West Bosnia
What kind of dough is this? Would it be possible to get the recipe ? This is just the kind of burek (the shape atleast) I always buy. I don't want the round or square one's:)
@talisare just like my baba makes! =) its pita not burek =P to make the dough, its just 500g sifted plain flour, a pinch of salt and add about 250mL of water (or until you get a dough consistency)
then roll it all up (u may want to separate them into fist size portions, so you can work with them), and soak them in olive oil for an hour (i like to use garlic infused oil) Remove your dough, it should be really stretchy, then roll it out a bit, then gently pull all around until its really thin
this isnt Burek and no banitchka, what ever that is, this is Pita, we call it that way in bosnia, Burek is flat and not "round"! =) But Burek and Pita like the same way, but there is one different, Burek could be made with bosnian sheep cheese, than its called Sirnica, and when its made with meat its Burek!
Pita could be also made with cheese, meat but also with potatoes...

@bubecar call it what you will......its what they call Burek in Livno , Sarejevo, Banja Luka and Zenica.....so if you want to call this by your local name go ahead........but it is called Burek in Livno and my wife has spent the last 40 years with her fathers Burek shop in Livno - so are you telling me the Bosnians and Croats and Serbs don't make Burek this way...of course it is.
@bubecar nope its burek(byrek in albanian) its an tradicional albanian food banitchka is another food ive seen a banitchka once but never tried one,are they good?
Could you perhaps make a similar video but include the process of working the phyllo dough? stretching and stuff? and perhaps make Gibanica? The one with cheese? I'm very interested in this dish, for my step brother who came from yugoslavia, he said it's the best meal he's had.
Hi, yes will tell the missus to slow down and let me film the next occasion. by the way the Bosnian/Croat/Serbs call cheese 'sir' so it is a sirnica here in Livno, Bosnia (where we have moved back to since Jan 2008).
@Najo161 I wanted Burek when I went to Jelsa, Hvar, Croatia.. and they gave me the one that was made with cheese.. not meat.. I was like I want burek not sirnica.. LOL..
Yes I agree but thats what someone posted and I accidentally erased so don't shoot me - I am only the piano player...what would your granmother say hearing you swear like that my oh my you do get very aggressive - no one is attacking you George.....ha ha
m8 i was joking, i'm not even from the balkans. no offense, noone was trying to shoot you down, i'm sorry if i wrote it a bit ackwardly. have a good one=P
//Borek is orginally from China and central asia turks then when the turks arrived anatolia/middle eastern, some balkan and middle eastern countries got effected from Turkish culture.
Btw also Manti is a Chine/central asian food.But Baklava, other deserts, olive oiled vegatable foods belong to native anatolia, middle eastern and mediterrainen area. //
Bosnia - yes it is big but they share it with all the Balkans people - they don't own it - take a look at the people below who claim their country invented Burek and that should give you a clue
Best regards big Brian
Bosna - da to je veliki, ali oni to podijeliti sa svim ljudima na Balkanu - to ne posjedovati - pogledajte ljude koji tvrde ispod svoje zemlje izumio Burek i koji bi trebao dati trag
This is Börek. This specific one is called "Kol Böreği" (arm borek) in Turkish. Originally Turkish food and word. Most of former Ottoman lands has this pastry.
Hi - sorry if you have the view it's not Burek, My wife and I have returned to Bosnia and live in Livno....up until 2002 when I brought her to UK to marry her wait for my pension and then return to live with her she has been making Bureks in Bosnia out of Beef or other meat mixtures, Her dad originated (not Albanian) from Dragas close to Makedonski Border.....I disagree with you that this is not Burek but if you say it isn't thats your right. Happy new year and Sretno......Brianina
PrishtinaHottiee this is for u :) its not burke its burek and first of all learn how to spell second of all nobody knows food from kosovo we all know cevaps and sudzuk r also bosnian best made so dont come here and embares urself please and thank u
I love it when it is mixed with meat and potato pieces. If it is done, u take a metalcup and fill it with milk and butter, let the butter melt and spill it over the burek. Try to make burek, u will be surprized!;)
Thanks, we have the balcony which we spend idylic mornings and some evenings on overlooking the town of Livno and onto the Brdo and Planina - I have had to get hold of a bird book because they are so numerous - so a bit like going to your favourite pavement restaurant and watching the world go by - only its the feathered variety that strut past.....i'll stick to a nice Irish Whiskey (Jamesons) and Bisera well she is happy drinking fanta and I always have a ride into town - Ha Ha Saluteh !.
Greetings, so far, he has done well and I hope he succeeds.
Now back to food hehe... were you successful in making the burek? hehe
Us guys, I think we are good with cevapi and BBQ in general not so much burek, right hehe.
It is getting warmer now, I think the time has come to put some meat and some veggies on the grill..... and I don't know about you Big Brian, but few little rakijas as a appetizer and beer afterward sounds good to me :)
this is bosnian burek as well

this isnt Burek and no banitchka, what ever that is, this is Pita, we call it that way in bosnia, Burek is flat and not "round"! =) But Burek and Pita like the same way, but there is one different, Burek could be made with bosnian sheep cheese, than its called Sirnica, and when its made with meat its Burek!
Pita could be also made with cheese, meat but also with potatoes...

@bubecar call it what you will......its what they call Burek in Livno , Sarejevo, Banja Luka and Zenica.....so if you want to call this by your local name go ahead........but it is called Burek in Livno and my wife has spent the last 40 years with her fathers Burek shop in Livno - so are you telling me the Bosnians and Croats and Serbs don't make Burek this way...of course it is.

Could you perhaps make a similar video but include the process of working the phyllo dough? stretching and stuff? and perhaps make Gibanica? The one with cheese? I'm very interested in this dish, for my step brother who came from yugoslavia, he said it's the best meal he's had.

Hi, yes will tell the missus to slow down and let me film the next occasion. by the way the Bosnian/Croat/Serbs call cheese 'sir' so it is a sirnica here in Livno, Bosnia (where we have moved back to since Jan 2008).

//Borek is orginally from China and central asia turks then when the turks arrived anatolia/middle eastern, some balkan and middle eastern countries got effected from Turkish culture.
Btw also Manti is a Chine/central asian food.But Baklava, other deserts, olive oiled vegatable foods belong to native anatolia, middle eastern and mediterrainen area. //

Bosnia - yes it is big but they share it with all the Balkans people - they don't own it - take a look at the people below who claim their country invented Burek and that should give you a clue
Best regards big Brian
Bosna - da to je veliki, ali oni to podijeliti sa svim ljudima na Balkanu - to ne posjedovati - pogledajte ljude koji tvrde ispod svoje zemlje izumio Burek i koji bi trebao dati trag

This is Börek. This specific one is called "Kol Böreği" (arm borek) in Turkish. Originally Turkish food and word. Most of former Ottoman lands has this pastry.

That is not BUREK. It is a PIE. Burek does not look like it and it is not stuffed with lamb meat. Best burek is made in Macedonia and Bosnia.

Hi - sorry if you have the view it's not Burek, My wife and I have returned to Bosnia and live in Livno....up until 2002 when I brought her to UK to marry her wait for my pension and then return to live with her she has been making Bureks in Bosnia out of Beef or other meat mixtures, Her dad originated (not Albanian) from Dragas close to Makedonski Border.....I disagree with you that this is not Burek but if you say it isn't thats your right. Happy new year and Sretno......Brianina

U must bake it, and it tastes reeealy good!
I love it when it is mixed with meat and potato pieces. If it is done, u take a metalcup and fill it with milk and butter, let the butter melt and spill it over the burek. Try to make burek, u will be surprized!;)

Thanks, we have the balcony which we spend idylic mornings and some evenings on overlooking the town of Livno and onto the Brdo and Planina - I have had to get hold of a bird book because they are so numerous - so a bit like going to your favourite pavement restaurant and watching the world go by - only its the feathered variety that strut past.....i'll stick to a nice Irish Whiskey (Jamesons) and Bisera well she is happy drinking fanta and I always have a ride into town - Ha Ha Saluteh !.

Greetings, so far, he has done well and I hope he succeeds.
Now back to food hehe... were you successful in making the burek? hehe
Us guys, I think we are good with cevapi and BBQ in general not so much burek, right hehe.
It is getting warmer now, I think the time has come to put some meat and some veggies on the grill..... and I don't know about you Big Brian, but few little rakijas as a appetizer and beer afterward sounds good to me :)
Greetings and keep enjoying the life :)
