Burekas (Jewish Sephardic)
Jewish Sephardic BUREKAS is quite similar to the Turkish "burak." Burekas
can be prepared with various types of dough: strudel dough (thin leaves), rising
dough, or with types of prepared dough found in the market. It is widely sold on
Israeli street corners and bakery shops. To be tasty, it must be served hot and
fresh.
