Frequently Asked Questions About Low-Oil Whole Wheat Cheese Börek

What is Low-Oil Whole Wheat Cheese Börek?
Low-oil whole wheat cheese börek is a Turkish-style savoury pastry made by filling thin whole wheat dough or pastry sheets with cheese, then baking them. Using less oil gives it a lighter finish than richer versions, while the cheese brings a savoury filling and protein.
