Buryan with Meat (video)

Buryan Pilavi
This recipe has subtitles in both Turkish and English.

Welcome to Mutevazi Lezzetler Cuisine!
at this episode, we are sharing a recipe from Rumelia
"Buryan with Meat"
let�s see the short ingredients list, then we will see how to cook it
1.10 pounds lamb cubes
3 cups of rice
3 onions
2 tbsp butter
1 cup of grated tomato
3 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cups of water
1 + 1/2 tsp salt
and black pepper
as I mentioned this recipe is from Rumelia
"there is another meal called as ""Buryan Kebap"" also in our cuisine�"
but it is particular to Siirt region, it is delicious also
after sharing this little detail, let�s see how to prepare �Buryan Pilaf with Meat�
I have 3 cups of rice
I will rest it in too much warm water
after adding some salt�
I�ll rest it in that warm water for half an hour at least
while resting the rice in warm water�
let�s prepare the meat mixture�
I�m pouring 3 tbsp of vegetable oil
into the pot
I�ll wait for a while to heat it
because, I have to put the meat into hot pot
to keep its broth
I think that it is hot enough now
I�m adding the lamb cubes
and I�ll roast them, until their surfaces turn into brown
after roasting the cubes for about 15 minutes�
I�m adding finely cut onion
I�m keeping on frying until the onion pieces lose their shape
"at it is mentioned in our ""Pilaf"" book�"
the golden rule of cooking a good pilaf, is being successful while adjusting the water
so I�m using the same cup for measuring the other ingredients...
I�ve grated the tomato, 1 cup of grated tomato�
and I�m adding it over the frying mixture of onion and meat
I�ll be cooking it until the grated tomato reaches a thicker consistency, for a short time
yes grated tomato has reached the consistency that I desire...
so, I�m measuring the hot water by the same cup and adding 3 cups of hot water into the mixture
why am I adding hot water?
because, if I add cold water it hardens the meat
I may add some salt now
I�m covering the lid and keeping on cooking, until the meat softens
yes, the meat is about to cooked
meanwhile, I�m putting 2 tbsp of butter�
into the pot
actually I do not use too much butter or margarine in my recipes�
but this an regional recipe, so I have to keep its original taste�
so now I�m using butter more than usual
I�ve rested the rice in 3 cups of water and washed it a few times�
until its starch goes away. Now .I�m adding the rice
I�ll roast it for about 5 minutes...
the rice will turn into transparent during the roasting
roasting process the rice stay in pieces
while keeping on cooking Buryan Pilaf�
I want to remind the processes that I�ve done
I�ve rested the rice, then washed it with too much water
until its starch goes away
after frying the meat with 3 tbsp of vegetable oil�
I�ve added 3finely cut onions in it
I�ve fried until the onion pieces turn into transparent
I�ve added 1 cup of grated tomato�
and about 1 tsp of salt
after cooking it for a while more�
I�ve added 3 cups of warm water
and kept on cooking until the meat pieces soften
then, I�ve roasted the rice�
3 cups of rice that I�ve prepared and washed before�
for 5 minutes in with 2 tbsp of butter
now I�ll place the roasted rice into a heat-resistant tray...
which has a proper size
I�m placing the meat over the rice layer�
with its broth, because as you know�
I�ve measured all the ingredients carefully
I�ve added the meat with its broth gently over the rice layer
finally, I�ll cover it by an aluminum foil�
or grease-proof paper or the lid of the tray
and I�ll cook it in the oven that I�ve preheated to 374 F�
for about 20 or 25 minutes
Buryan Pilaf is cooked, I�m removing the foil
I�m grinding some black pepper all over
to have fresh pepper smell
I�ll rest it for half an hour more, then I�ll mix and serve it
at this episode, we�ve shared a delicious pilaf recipe
"Buryan with Meat"
as you know the local recipes are also traditional ones
those handed down for centuries, so their tastes are inarguable

all over the rolled out dough
I�ll cover all the surface by this filling mixture...

I�m removing the extra flour
I�m placing it into the �
greased baking tray.

it is a cookie recipe
"Rectangular Biscuits with Walnut"
let�s see the ingredients list at first�
then we will see how to cook it
1 cup of corn starch
1 + 1/2 cups of castor sugar
2 tbsp cocoa
2 eggs
1 pack of margarine or butter (8.8 oz)
1 pack of vanilla
1 pack of baking powder
1 pinch of salt
and sifted flour, as much as the mixture gets in
"for the upper side; 1 tablespoonful coconut"
6 - 7 diced dried apricots
and 1 cup of thickly beaten walnut
I�m beginning by breaking the eggs
I�ve 2 eggs, the eggs must be washed
I�ve 1 pack of margarine, equal to 8.8 oz...
it is softened at room temperature
1 cup of castor sugar
after adding the castor sugar�
I�m mixing it by fingertips
yes, as you can see it is homogenous now
I�ve 1 cup of corn starch
I�m adding it also, I�m especially using the starch of the corn�
because, the wheat starch makes the cookies harder
I�m adding 2 tbsp of cocoa
I�m adding the vanilla also
I�ve added the cocoa before the flour, by this way it lays homogenously in the mixture
and gives its color properly
it has given its color in a nice way
now I�m adding 1 pinch of salt�
salt increases the taste of the sweet products
sifted flour, as much as the mixture gets in
I�m adding it also
I�ve placed the baking powder over the flour�
to prevent it from touching to the mixture directly
I�ll be kneading the mixture by adding flour little by little in it�
until it stops to stick my hands, but it must not be too hard
this is the consistency that we want to reach
I�ll rest the dough for about 10 minutes after covering it
I�ve rested it for a short time, now it is time to shape it
it may soften while it is resting
especially at hot weather
I may add some flour and knead it again
the consistency of the dough is ideal now
now, I�ll roll it out, until it reaches to the size of the baking tray
after rolling it for a while, then I will shape it by fingertips to make it reach tray size
ok, it is enough, I may shape it in the tray from now on
I�m placing it into the greased baking tray
I�m shaping it by fingertips, it will take the shape of the tray
I�ve placed the dough into the tray firmly
I have 1 cup of thickly beaten walnut as an upper side ingredient
firstly, I�m sprinkling it all over
beating it thickly, pleases you while eating these cookies
but, you can beat it more thinly also
I have some dried apricots also, I�m sprinkling them all over also
you can use chocolate pieces instead
even, you can use granulated sugar, if you like that crispy feeling while eating cookies
as you know, there is no limits at recipes!
finally I have coconut
I�m sprinkling it also
I�m laying those heaps all over homogenously
it seems delicious already now
I�m forcing over this layer to make those ingredients�
stay together with the dough
you can use a small rolling pin for this process also
after laying all the upper side ingredients by this way�
I�m slicing it into rectangular shaped pieces
if you come across to walnut pieces, they may affect the smooth shape of your pieces
I�m keeping on cutting it now�
that goes without saying, you may use a knife
in a very short time, we have prepared very stylish biscuits
and delicious needless to say
M�tevazı Lezzetler never negotiates about flavor
now I�m placing the tray into the oven that is preheated to 374 F for a long time, it is really hot now
I�ll bake them for just 10 minutes
then I�ll remove them from the oven
the biscuits are removed from the oven, I�ve rested them for 20 minutes to solidify and cool them down
they seem great
and they are delicious

Welcome to Mutevazi Lezzetler Cuisine!
at this episode, we are sharing a very practical fruit dessert
"Pear Dessert with Chocolate"
let�s see the ingredients list at first, then we will see how to cook it
4 pears
8 tbsp granulated sugar
"for the sauce; 2 tbsp butter (about 3.5 oz)"
1 pack of bitter chocolate (about 3 oz)
as you see, the ingredients list is very short�
now, we can see how to cook it
I�m peeling the pears that are washed very well
I�m peeling them very fast...
because, the pears may darken in short time
now, I�ll cut each of them into 2 pieces, and�
I�ll carve them
they have seed beds�
you may remove them by any kind of spoon
I�ve prepared the pears by this way�
we have cooking bags�
it is too easy to find it�
firstly I�m placing some sugar�
into the bag
we are using 2 tbsp of granulated sugar�
for each pear�
not too much
after sprinkling some sugar�
over the pears �
I�m placing them into the bag
yes, I�m placing the last one eventually...
into the bag
we never waste anything�
I�ve added the remaining sugar also
I�m closing the bag firmly�
and I�m placing it into a heat- resistant baking bowl
I�m placing the pears into the oven...
that is preheated to 392 F�
and I�ll cook them for about 25 � 40 minutes�
the time depends upon the hardness of the pears
while cooking the pears�
I�m placing the butter and the chocolate...
into the hot sauce pot
it is over very little heat
it is very important to place the pot over very low heat�
"you may prepare the sauce by ""Ben Mari"" method also�"
but this way is more practical, so I�ve chosen this way
the pears are cooked, the chocolate sauce is ready also�
after a small process it will be ready to serve�
but it must cool down�
I�m removing the pears from the bag�
they are really very hot
I�m placing them into the service plate
I�ve placed the pears...
as you have noticed that, we did not boil them...
they are steamed...
we are wasting this juice even...
I�m pouring it all over
finally�
I�m pouring the chocolate sauce...
all over the pears
I�ll cover the pears...
with chocolate totally
then, after cooling them...
while serving...
I�ll transfer them into another service plate
at this episode, we have shared really economic...
practical�
and most importantly it is stylish

1 mild cream cheese with strawberries
1 pack of vanilla
"for wetting the sponge cake; 1 cup of hot water"
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp granulated coffee
"for the upper side; 1 tbsp cocoa"
now I can go closer to stove to prepare the cream�
I�m starting by breaking the egg
I�m adding 2 cups of cold milk�
and 1/3 cup of flour on it�
I�m mixing it well�
to prevent the flour from staying as lumps
then, I�ll add the sugar and turn on the heat
I�ve added the sugar also
now I can turn on the heat
I�ll be cooking it by stirring constantly, until it reaches the right consistency
the cream has reached the right consistency
now, I�m adding 1 pack of vanilla, and�
1 pack of mild cream cheese with strawberries into the cream
you can use pure mild cream cheese instead also
after mixing it for a while�
I�ll remove it from the stove
if you notice some lumps, you may blend it
I can turn off the heat
now, I�m preparing the syrup to wet the sponge cake
I have 1 cup of hot water�
and 1 tbsp granulated coffee�
I�m adding 1 tbsp of granulated sugar on it
and mixing it
the mixture is dissolved and smoothened
I�m wetting the sponge cake which has two layer with the syrup
I�m pouring each half of the syrup all over the each half of the cake
we have already shared sponge cake recipe at one of the previous episodes...
if you add 2 tbsp of cocoa to the ingredient list of that recipe, you may get �sponge cake with cocoa�
after wetting the cake, I�m placing half of the prepared cream�
over it
the cream should cool down
as you may notice, I did not placed cream onto the edges of the cake
now, I�m cutting some strawberries over the cream
I�m sprinkling it over the cream randomly
I�m placing the opposite side of the other part of the sponge cake
to make it soak the syrup
I�m wetting it also with the remaining syrup
now, I�m placing the remaining cream over it�
and laying it all over the cake
the cream may flow from the edges of the cake, it is not a matter
although, it seems better
I�ve flattened the cream...
I�m sprinkling the 1 tbsp of cocoa all over
I�m garnish it by placing some strawberry pieces over it
if you will slice the cake into 8 pieces, 8 halves of strawberries are sufficient in that case
at this episode, we have shared an Italian recipe with some reinterprets of Mutevazi Lezzetler

Greetings from Mutevazi Lezzetler Cuisine!
at this episode, we are sharing a borek recipe, "Wrapped Borek"
let�s see the ingredients list, before seeing how to cook it
3 ready-to-use phyllo pastries
for the filling; 4 medium size tomatoes
3 banana peppers
12 oz ground meat, medium fatty
1/2 tbsp tomato paste
2 onions, medium size
1 bunch of parsley
1 tsp salt
and black pepper
for the inner sauce; 1 cup of milk
1 egg
and 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
I�m starting by preparing the filling mixture
as I mentioned we have 3 banana peppers
I�m slicing them as finely as I can
I�ve sliced the peppers, it is time to onions
I�ll be dicing them as finely as I can, but please do not grate them
I�ve diced the onions finely also, now I�m adding it
before adding the other ingredients�
I�ll be rubbing this mixture with 1 tsp of salt to soften onion and pepper
by this way, we are decreasing the negative effects of the onion
you may ask; what are the negative effects of onion? it may harm your stomach...
I�m grating the 4 tomatoes over the mixture of onion and pepper
after grating the tomatoes, it is time to slice the parsley
I�m slicing it very finely also
you may not add parsley, if you do not like it
as you can notice, I�ve also sliced some of the stems
I�m adding it also
now we have ground meat�
the tomatoes are colorless, so I�m adding 1/2 tbsp of tomato paste into the mixture
I�ve already added the salt, while rubbing the onion and pepper
after adding some black pepper�
I�m kneading the mixture, as it is dough, until the mixture turns into homogenous totally
maybe you know, we are using this filling mixture for "Turkish Pizza - Lahmacun"
every Turkish person, has definitely prepared and sent this mixture to the local bakery...
to make them cook lahmacun or pide
I want to make this mixture have a low consistency
so I�m adding some water in it
finally we have 3 tbsp of vegetable oil�
I�ll add it and the mixture will be ready
I�ll rest this mixture for about 10 minutes
meanwhile, I�ll prepare the inner sauce
as I mentioned, we have 1 egg for that
I�m breaking it
before adding the other ingredients on it, I�m whisking it until it loses its shape
I�m adding 1 cup of milk
and finally I�m adding 1/3 cup of sunflower oil
the inner sauce is ready right now
I�ll continue to prepare the borek with the phyllo pastries
I�m cutting them to make them reach the size of the tray
you may cut them without measuring the layer of the tray, but we want to shape the borek correctly
I�ll use the cut off edges later also
I�m using a grease-proof paper, you may not use it, if you do not want
you may just grease the tray also
I�ll use them by this way
now I�m superposing the square shaped pastry pieces into the tray...
by spreading inner suace all over the each layer
I think that you can see better now
I�m spreading the sauce between the each layer by this way
I�m placing the cut off pieces over it also
it will be delicious borek, tastes just like Lahmacun
I�m pouring some more sauce
by this method, I�ll be superposing the phyllo pastries
now, I�m placing the last pastry
I�ve put this smooth pastry aside
now, I�m placing it also
you may think that this is the dough layer of the Lahmacun
so now, I�m laying filling mixture all over it
I�ve placed it by this way
I�ll bake it in the oven that is preheated to 274 F
the borek is baked and removed from the oven, it is too hot now
I�ll not cool it down totally, but when it turns into warm�
I�ll wrap it by the help of the paper
and slice it into pieces, each will have 1 inch of length and I�ll serve it
I�ve wrapped it by the help of the paper
It will cool down in this situation, then as I mentioned, I�ll slice and serve it
It has cooled down in the paper, now I�m removing the paper
I�m slicing it
and placing them into the service plate, they seem great
it is warm now, ideal to eat

Greetings from Mutevazi Lezzetler!
at this episode, we are sharing an easy-to-cook and healthy olive oil dish
"Olive Oil Green Beans in Pressure Cooker"
we have just a few ingredients for this recipe�
let�s see them at first, then we will see how to cook it
3.3 pounds green beans
2 onions, medium size
5 long green peppers
4 ripe tomatoes
1/2 cup of olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp granulated sugar
I�ve washed the green beans very carefully
I�ve waited to drain their extra water over them, I�m removing the edges
and I�m making some cuts to top of the each slice
if you make big cuts, the seeds go away
but, by this way I�m increasing the taste
I�ve sliced the beans, now it is time to onion
you should dice it as fine as you can
because, we will not fry the onion
I�ve diced the onions, now it is the turn of garlic
you may not add garlic, if you do not like it
it will be your choice
but it increases the taste, I have to remind it
I�m adding it onto the onion
I�ve removed the seeds of the peppers
I�m dicing it, but not into too small pieces
it is so simple to cook olive oil green beans by the method of Mutevazi Lezzetler
now I�m getting the beans�
they are cleaned and chopped, I�m placing them into the pot
then, I�m adding the onion and garlic
we have long green peppers also, I�m adding them also
we have salt�
and sugar
as you notice, sugar is an interesting ingredient for an olive oil dish
now, I�m rubbing the beans until they soften a little bit
hardly, as kneading the dough
as you may see, the ingredients lay smoothly by this way
I�m peeling the tomatoes
I�ve peeled the tomatoes that will be the upper side ingredients, you may grate it also, but�
this way is better, seems better, we are not adding tomato paste�
as you know that tomato paste is not a proper ingredient for olive oil dishes
but we respect the ones who add it
tomato paste increases the taste, it is true
I�m adding it onto top
if you cook this meal with at the season of fresh tomatoes, it becomes more delicious
I�ll not mix it, the tomato will stay above
they are staying above, I�m not mixing
and I�m pouring 1/2 cup of Riviera olive oil all over
as you know, we need water to make the pressure cooker work
but, we will just use tomato juice instead
and I�m covering its lid
I�m placing the pot over the biggest heat
after the pins removing, I�ll cook it for 7 or 8 more minutes
the pin has removed, I�m turning the heat to half
I�ll cook it for 7 minutes, or 8 minutes if the beans are too hard, but not more
the pin has stayed again, I�ve rested the meal to cool down in the cooker
as you know that olive oil dishes should be cooled down in their pot
the tomato slices were staying above, so I�m mixing the meal just for a while
if it could not cool down totally, you can serve it warm also
I�m placing it into the service plate
yes, I�ve placed it into the service plate, I may garnish it with some sliced parsley also
you may serve it warm or cold
at this episode, we have shared an practical and delicious olive oil dish
you should think about using pressure cooker
you should not use it just for boiling something, you can cook something also
pressure cooker saves time and energy�
it also keeps the feeding value of the foods
I hope that you will try it. Bon Appetite! Afiyet Olsun!

I�m adding 1 cup of olive oil also
I may advise you to use virgin olive oil
I�m mixing it just for a while
I�ll add flour in the mixture, as much as the mixture gets in
you know that, we do not add sodium bicarbonate onto the liquid mixture directly
so, I�m adding some flour now�
then, I�ll add the sodium bicarbonate onto the flour
sodium bicarbonate must not touch to liquid directly, why?
because, if it touches, it gives a bitter taste to the mixture
now, I�m starting to knead it
I�m adding the flour little by little
this recipe is requested too many times�
because, we all love cookies, but all of the cookies includes fat�
so it may harm your health
these cookies just include olive oil, so it is preferred
I�ve knead the dough by adding flour in it little by little
I want to show it, as you can notice it does not stick to my hand
also it is not too soft, it has a medium consistency
well, I�ll cover the dough and rest it for half an hour
the dough is rested for half an hour
well, I�m rolling it out now and I�ll shape it

let�s see how to make it
now I�m shaping it as a pencil
yes that is the length that we want to reach
now, I�m folding it
I�m twisting it at least two times
by this way�
I�m dipping into the egg white firstly
then into the sesame
that is the shape of these cookies
well, I�m placing them into the baking tray that is greased or covered by grease-proof paper
I�m showing it one more time
by the same way, I�m picking a walnut sized piece from the dough�
I�m shaping as a pencil, but a little bit thicker than pencil...
just like a string
I�m folding it
and now, I�m making at least two rolls
I�m dipping it into the egg white firstly
then covering with sesame
I�m placing them into the tray
I�ve baked the cookies in the oven that is preheated to 374 F�

and 1 tbsp coconut
I�m starting by preparing the filling mixture
surely, quince is a hard fruit and it is hard to peel it also
I�ve peeled the quinces, now I�ll cut each of them into 2 pieces
as I told quince is a hard fruit, so I�m cutting it by this way
and I�m removing the seed beds
I�m removing the seeds, I�m removing the seed beds, and getting them ready to grate
I�m grating the quinces thickly now
and placing the grated pieces into the pot
you should be fast at this process, because the quince darkens easily
I�ve finished the grating process
I�m placing it into a small pot
I think it seems better now
I�m adding 1/2 cup of granulated sugar ion it
I�m adding 3 cloves also
then I will remove those
I�ll cover the lid on and cook the mixture over low heat, until the mixture gives its juice and soaks again
while cooking the mixture, I�ll prepare the dough

I�ll use it for the upper side
I�ve placed the yolk into the mixing bowl
I�m adding 1 cup of milk

I�m rolling out each of the dough pieces over floured bench, until each of them reaches saucer size
the filling mixture has cooled down totally
this size is enough
I�m placing this filling mixture
some kinds of the quinces do not include too much juice

let�s see the ingredients list at first
10.5 oz lamb cubes
2 cups of rice
2 onions, medium size
1 tbsp pine kernels
1 tbsp currants
5 dried apricots
1 tbsp butter
4 tbsp sunflower oil
2 medium size carrots
3 green onions
4 - 5 stems of parsley or dill
3 cups of boiling water
1/2 tsp of black pepper
1 + 1/2 tsp salt
firstly, I�ll boil the lamb cubes
I�m placing 1 tbsp of sunflower into the pot
when it turns into hot a little, I�m adding 10.5 oz of lamb cubes
I�ll roast them for about 10 minutes
I�ll add water on it
after adding 1/2 tsp of salt on it�
I�m adding 3 cups of boiling water
It has started to boil
I�m turning the heat to low and boiling it for about 25 minutes
I�m removing the bubbles time to time which exist during the cooking
when the meat boils, let�s prepare the other ingredients
I�m dicing the dried �day� apricots�
I prefer this kind of apricots
because they are naturally dried
I�ve rested them in warm water for half an hour before dicing
now it is the time for the carrots, I�m dicing them also
now the onions�
try to dice the onions as thin as you can
I�m placing 4 tbsp oil into the pot
I�m adding 1 tbsp butter into the pot also
we are generally using sunflower oil, because it is very healthy
I can add the pine kernels now
I�m roasting them, until they turn into yellow for a few minutes
now, the carrots, the hardest ingredients�
so, I�m adding them firstly
I�m roasting it for about 5 minutes
I�m covering the lid
the carrot has softened
now I can add the onion
I will not give a roasting time for the onions, because it is important to fry them well
when it turns into dry, it means that it is ok
I�m covering the lid again
the onion has reached the right consistency
it is totally dried
I�m adding the chopped apricots and currants at the same time
I�ll roast the mixture, until the currants start to grow up, without covering the lid
I did not rest the rice in water, but I�ve washed it, until its starch has gone away
it is very important to wash the rice well and drain its water after washing
I�ll roast the rice for a few minutes
I�m adding 1 tsp salt all over
while roasting the rice, let�s prepare the meat meanwhile
I�m draining its broth by a colander
now I can add the drained meat also
I�m saut�ing the mixture for a while more
by the way, I can add the black pepper also
I�m adding the black pepper at the end to keep its smell
finally, I�m adding 3 cups of broth
if the broth does not be 3 cups, you can add some water to make it 3 cups
because of not resting, we have to add 4 cups of water for 2 cups of rice
the ingredients are also juicy, so it is enough to add 3 cups of broth, not more
I�m mixing it gently and covering the lid on
after the mixture reaches boiling temperature, I�m turning the heat to low and cooking the mixture for about 10 more minutes
I�m slicing the parsley and dicing the onion finally
the pieces must be too small
after the onion I�m slicing the parsley very finely
the pilaf has soaked the water totally
I�m turning off the heat and adding onion and parsley
you can use dill instead of parsley also
I�m laying it all over without mixing
I�m placing a paper towel over it for resting�
and resting it for 30 minutes
the Azerbaijani Pilaf has steamed
the onion and the parsley are cooked with its steam
I�m mixing it gently, without breaking the rice
Azerbaijani Pilaf is very similar Uzbek Pilaf
after all, they are the parts of the same culture
their tastes are very similar also
now I�m placing it into the wet bowl by forcing a little over it
I�m reversing it over the service plate
I�m placing a parsley piece over it and it is ready to serve

from now on, I'll be kneading it...
by adding flour in it little by little, until it stops sticking to my hand
the dough is reaching the right consistency
we have a nice dough now...
it is the consistency that we want
I'm covering it...
and I'll rest it for 45 minutes at least
meanwhile...
I'm mashing the cheese
by this way, the cheese is crumbled...
if you like it, you can add sliced parsley also
I've 1/2 pack of margarine and 1/4 pack of butter...
I'm placing them into a pot to melt them without burning
the dough is rested, so I can roll it out now
it has grown up and it is sticky
I'll divide the dough into 5 equal pieces
I'm dividing it into 5 pieces by rule of thumb
then I'll make them equal
the pieces are equal, now...
I'm sprinkling some mixture of flour and starch over the bench...
and placing a piece of dough over it
and after sprinkling some more mixture over it...
I'm forcing over it by my fingertips
now I can take the rolling pin
after enlarging it a little bit, I'm starting to roll it out...
one of the rolling out methods, is rolling the dough around the pin
I'm keeping on by this method
I'll try to roll it out as thinly as I can...
it is very entertaining to roll out dough for me...
I always want to keep on doing it
this size is enough...
now I'm putting this aside to roll out the other dough pieces
I'll keep on rolling them out...
by rolling them around the pin
I've rolled out the second one also...
you can decide its size by comparing it with the length of the pin
I'm putting it aside also...
I'm spreading some of the mixture of melted butter and margarine...
all over the rolled out dough piece...
I'm sprinkling...
some of the mashed cheese
I've rolled out the 3rd one also
I'm spreading some mixture of margarine and butter again over the 2nd rolled out dough piece
and some cheese also...
I'm especially placing cheese onto the parts, which I could not put on at first time
I'm placing the final layer
I can force on it a little bit
to make the ingredients stay together firmly
I'll shape these layers as rectangle...
by cutting...
the circular edges
I'll not throw them away, I'll place them onto the middle
now I'm rolling it
it may seem a huge roll...
I'm stretching it out by this way...
then I'll twist it, that process gives the name to the borek
the roll is long enough
now, I'm cutting it into 2 pieces to work easier
I'm putting one of the pieces aside...
and keeping on stretch out
after stretching it out...
I'm holding both edges and twisting it to opposite directions
doing this process by two people may make it better
it is stretching out during the twisting also
I'm slicing the roll into pieces, each has 2 inches length, and...
I'm placing them into the tray
I'm keeping on by twisting the second part also
after placing the last piece...
I'm spreading the mixture of 1 tbsp of milk and...
egg yolk all over the borek pieces
now it is time to...
place the tray into the oven that is heated to 356 F...
and bake the boreks...
I'm lacing the tray and I'll bake them until they turn into red
the boreks have turned into red well...
after cooling it down for a while, I can serve it
as you can see, it is not too hard to prepare phyllo pastries...
maybe you can turn it into a hobby...
you can practice with small dough pieces at the beginning...
then, you may even prepare baklava
but, if you desire, you can start with Twisted Borek...
and you can see it is not hard, and eat it with pleasure

White Pudding with Bread
Welcome to Mutevazi Lezzetler Cuisine Video Pages!
Today, we are cooking a light and milky dessert..
.."White Pudding with Bread"
Let�s see the ingredients now.
Then we will see how to cook it.
Ingredients:
1 pack of toasted bread
For the Syrup:
1 + 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 + 1/2 cups water
1 tsp lemon juice
For the Sauce:
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp flour
4 tbsp cocoa
1 + 1/2 cups water
For the Milk Pudding:
1 liter milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup flour
1 tbsp butter
1 pack vanilla
The ingredients list may seem a little bit complicated,
but it is very easy to cook this dessert.
There are 3 main processes; syrup, sauce and pudding.
Let�s start to cook it by preparing the syrup at first.
We are pouring 1 + 1/2 cups granulated sugar and..
.. 1 + 1/2 cups water into the pot.
We are boiling it by stirring constantly, until it reaches the right consistency.
The syrup has reached the boiling temperature..
..so we are adding the lemon juice in it.
We will boil it for 5 more minutes.
Then, we will remove it from the stove.
Now I am turning of the heat.
I am pouring it into a different bowl to make it cool down faster.
The syrup is cooling down now, so meanwhile we can place the bread slices into the tray.
We can let some spaces between the slices.
I have filled the surface by the half slices also.
Now we can pour the cool syrup all over the bread slices.
While the bread slices are soaking the syrup, I am preparing the sauce.
I am pouring 1 + 1/2 cups cold water, 4 tbsp cocoa..
..2 tbsp flour and 1 cup granulated sugar into the pot.
I am mixing it by a fork, you can use a beater also..
.. until it turns into homogenous, before turning on the heat.
It has turned into homogenous.
So, I am turning on the heat and setting it to medium level.
I will cook it by stirring constantly, until it reaches the pudding consistency.
This is the consistency which we want to reach.
We can remove the sauce from the stove now.
After the sauce, it is the time of cooking the pudding.
I am pouring 1 liter cold milk, 1 cup granulated sugar..
..and 1 cup flour into the mixture.
I am mixing these cold ingredients before turning on the heat..
.. until the mixture turns into homogenous.
Ok, it has turned into homogenous.
So, I am turning on the heat and setting it to medium level.
I am cooking it, until it reaches the right consistency.
I am keeping on cooking the pudding.
As you have noticed that, I have cooked the sauce before the pudding.
Because, we want the sauce cool down..
..while I am cooking the pudding.
You can see the holes over the pudding�s surface..
..so, I am adding the vanilla and 1 tbsp butter now.
I am turning the heat off and mixing the pudding for a while.
As you know that, it is very important to whisk the pudding for a long time..
.. for cooking Turkish style white pudding.
So, we will whisk it for a long time.
We are whisking the pudding for about 7 or 10 minutes.
It has reached the right consistency.
You can see the bubbles all over the pudding.
We can pour it all over the bread slices, which have already soaked the syrup.
I am placing the pudding all over the bread slices by the spoon..
..you need to be patient a little.
After placing the pudding all over the bread slices..
.. it is the time of the sauce.
We have mixed the sauce time to time, after cooking it.
It is for preventing the butter layer over the pudding.
I am pouring it all over the surface.
Well, it is the White Pudding with Bread!
After refrigerating it for 2 hours, you can slice and serve it.
I hope that you will try and love it.
Bon Appetite! Afiyet Olsun!

Chocolate Cookies with Orange
Welcome to Mutevazi Lezzetler Cuisine!
At this video we will share a cookie recipe with you.
Chocolate Cookies with Orange.
Let's see the ingredients list:
1 pack margarine or butter..
..1 egg..
..grated rind of half orange..
..1 pack bitter chocolate (40 grams)..
..1/2 cup castor sugar..
..1/3 cup corn starch..
..1 pack bakiing powder..
..1 pinch salt..
..flour, as much as the mixture gets in.
For Upper Side:
1 cup castor sugar
Juice of 1 orange
We can see now how to cook it.
We are placing the butter, which is softened at room temperature, into the mixing bowl.
we are adding 1/2 cup castor sugar and 1/3 cup of starch on it.
We are kneading this mixture for a while.
After smoothing the mixture, we are grating the chocolate finely onto the mixture.
After the chocolate, we are grating half of the orange rind over it.
All of the rind may be grated into the mixture also. But, half of it maked the cookies more delicious.
Now we are adding the egg and 1 pinch salt.
We are adding some flour, before adding the baking powder.
Now, we can add the baking powder. Because, if the baking powder touches to liquid, it gets a bitter taste.
We are mixing it for a while. Then, we are going to knead it by adding flour.
We are adding flour into the mixture little by little, during the kneading process.
The dough is about to reach to the right consistency.
So, how can we understand that which consistency is the right one for the dough?
It must not stick to your hands, it must be smooth and it must not be very hard.
Now, it has reached to the right consistency.
We are dividing it into 2 or 3 pieces. It depends on the size of our bench.
We are rolling it to shape as a long stick.
It has reached to right thickness. So, we are slicing it into pieces, each has about 1 inch length.
We are repeating the same processes for the remaining part also.
We have placed all of our cookies into the tray.
Now, we are going to place the tray into the oven, which is preheated to 190 C.
We are going to bake it less than 15 minutes.
You can notice that, the sugar which we added into the cookies' mixture is low.
Because, we are going to pour a mixture all over the cookies.
The cookies are removed from the oven.
When the cookies are hot, we are adding 1 cup of castor sugar into the juice of 1 orange, and mixing it.
By this way, the cookies will reach to the right sugar level.
We are spreading this mixture over the cookies.
The cookies must be hot, to soak the orange mixture.After pouring the mixture all over the cookies, we are going to rest it for 2 hours and serve it.
At this video we have cooked very easy cookies. But they seem really nice.
I believe that, you will like it.
Good Apetite! Afiyet Olsun!

Let's see how to cook it.
We have 1/2 warm water
1 pack instant yeast
1 tsp granulated sugar
We are dissolving the mixture by fingertips.
Flower Bread is a different bread, because of the milk addition.
We are adding the egg white now.
1 + 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
We are using sunflower oil. It is not advised to use an oil, which gives its taste into mixture.
So, olive oil is not advised.
After mixing it for a while more by fingertips, we are adding flour into the mixture during the kneading.
Until, it reaches to right consistency. It must not become too hard.
We are adding the salt into the mixture, before it reaches to the right consistency.
The mixture has reached to the right consistency.
Kneading the mixture more, makes the dough better.
We are covering it. We are going to rest it for 45 minutes.
The first swelling process has finished.
We are kneading it for a while again.
We will cover and rest it for 20 minutes more.
Now we can shape the bread.
We are cutting the dough into 7 equal pieces.
We will make 7 equal dough balls.
We have shaped them.
The tray is greased.
We are sprinkling some flour also.
We are placing one of the balls into the middle.
We are placing the remaining 6 balls around the central one.
We are resting it for 20 more minutes.
You can see some spaces between the dough balls.
The spaces will disappear by the swelling of the dough balls during the baking.
After the resting the balls have become larger.
We are spreading the remaining yolk all over the balls.
We are sprinkling the sesame and nigella seeds.
We are using the mixture of those two, and it seems very nice.
But, you can use just one of them also.
We are placing the tray into the oven, which is preheated to 392 F.
We are going to bake the bread, until it turns into red totally.
The bread is removed from the oven.
It has baked for about 30 minutes.
It is a little bit hot, but we are removing it from the tray.
As you can see, the back side is also cooked well.
After cooling it for a while, we can serve it.
As you can see, baking a bread is not hard.
I hope that, you will try it as early as you can.

..let�s see the ingredients:
3 yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 pack of vanilla
1 pack of baking powder
1/2 pack of melted margarine
1/2 cup milk
2 + 1/2 cups of sifted flour
For the Upper Side:
4 apples
1/3 cup of granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
For the Cloud:
3 egg whites
1/3 cup of granulated sugar
The ingredients list seems a little bit long.
But, it is very easy to cook it.
You will notice it after watching the video.
We are going to use the yolks of the eggs at first.
So we are separating the whites and the yolks of the eggs.
This is the last one.
Now we are adding 1/2 cup of granulated sugar onto the yolks.
And we are mixing it until the sugar dissolves.
Sugar has dissolved in the mixture.
Now we are adding the melted 1/2 pack of margarine and 1/2 cup of milk.
We are mixing it for a while.
Well, we are adding 2 + 1/2 cups of sifted granulated sugar into the mixture.
We are adding 1 pack of baking powder onto the flour.
And, 1 pack of vanilla.
We are mixing it for a while more.
We are pouring the mixture into a flat small tray like this one.
Its consistency is a little bit high, as you can see,..
.. because it has to carry the ingredients over it.
We have flattened the dough also.
Now we can place the tray into the oven, which is preheated to 338 F.
We will bake it, until it rises and turns into red.
While baking the cake, we are preparing the upper mixture.
We are peeling the apples at first.
We are peeling the last one also.
You need to peel them urgently to prevent them from darkening.
We are grating them now.
We are using the thicker side of the grater.
We have grated the last apple urgently.
It has a nice color.
We are pouring these pieces into the pot.
We are adding the granulated sugar..
.. and the cinnamon, which always goes with apple.
We are mixing it.
Then, we will cook it over medium heat,..
.. until the mixture gives its juice and soaks again.
Apple mixture is cooked, and now is cooling down.
So, we can prepare the cloud part of the cake.
We have covered the egg whites with cling film..
..to prevent them from solidifying.
We are adding the sugar.
The mixers must be very clean definitely.
We are mixing, until it turn into snow.
You can test it by this way.
Reverse it, it is not falling down.
So it is ready.
Put it aside.
We will use it later.
We are placing the apple mixture all over the cake.
The cake is baked for about 30 minutes in the oven which is 338 F.
We have rested the apple mixture for a while to cool it down a little.
It will be better to cool it down over the cake for a while more.
We have flattened the apple mixture.
We are resting it for a while more.
We have waited for a while to keep the consistency of the cloud mixture.
Now finally, we are placing the cloud pieces all over the apple layer.
Then we will flatten this layer also.
We have flattened the surface also.
Especially, it is very important to clean the edges of the tray.
Now we are placing the tray into the oven..
..which is preheated to about 300 - 320F.
We will bake it, until it turns into light pink.
We have baked it.
When it cools down totally, we can slice it into squares and serve.
Cloudy Cake!
