Knead the flour, warm water, olive oil, and half the salt into a soft dough.
Rest the dough covered for 30 minutes; this waiting time reduces tearing while rolling.
Mash the white cheese and prepare the filling with chopped parsley and black pepper.
Divide the dough into 6 balls and roll each one into a thin oval.
Spread the cheese filling over half the dough, moisten the edges with water, and close.
Whisk the egg, yogurt, and melted butter, then brush it over the boreks.
Bake the yanic boreks in a 190°C oven for 22 to 24 minutes, until browned.
Rest the tray for 5 minutes and slice the boreks once their heat drops slightly.
💡 Tip: Sprinkle flour sparingly while rolling the dough thin; too much flour makes the edges of yanic boregi dry and brittle.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice yanic boregi warm and serve it like a breakfast table with optional tomatoes, cucumbers, and ayran.
