Beautiful Bourekas!
Despite their triangular, round, square or crescent shapes—bourekas can be filled with any variety of savory ingredients.
Bourekas were introduced hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago in Central Asia and Eastern Europe before spreading throughout the Middle East and North Africa. As Bourekas were dispersed across the world by way of people migrations, different cultures, and languages, the recipe was altered to reflect each region’s food sources, and the name changed slightly to reflect the dialect of its people.
Interestingly, while the ingredients used for the dough and fillings shifted to represent different geographic landscapes, the original shapes of Bourekas as individual pieces were maintained the same throughout—half circle, rectangular, cylindrical, square, or rolled into a spiral.
Today, with an ever-growing sophistication in food preparation coupled with the advent of modern baking equipment and kitchen tools, Bourekas can be more easily prepped into occasion-specific sizes and shapes. For example, into miniature two-bite sized triangles ideal for serving as appetizers at special events, or into a plait-shaped (aka loaf) ideal for sharing at an elegant dinner party.
