Knead the flour, water, and half of the salt into a medium firm dough.
Rest the dough for 30 minutes so the gluten relaxes.
Saute the ground beef, grated potatoes, chopped onion, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and remaining salt for 10 minutes.
Add the parsley to the filling and cool it for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 10 balls, roll each thinly with starch, brush with melted butter between layers, and arrange in the tray.
Spread the cold filling in the middle of the layers and place the remaining yufka sheets on top the same way.
Whisk the yogurt and egg yolk, brush over the borek, and bake in a 190°C oven for 35 minutes, until browned.
💡 Tip: If the filling is spread while hot, it makes the pastry layers doughy; for a crisp Burdur style result, cool the filling to room temperature before it enters the tray.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the gazal boregi into squares and serve hot with strong tea and tomato salad if desired.
