Add 2 cups rice (rinsed and drained), cover, and keep on a simmer flame until all the water is absorbed. (Prox 30 minutes constantly watched.)2Step 2: Remove from flame; allow to cool.3Step 3: Mash rice with potato masher; add cheeses and eggs and continue to mash. Mixture should be damp, not dry.4Step 4: Fill measuring cup with ice cubes, add water to 3 C mark on measuring cup. In large mixing bowl, add mix of water and ice, oil and salt. Let stand for a few minutes for water to get ice cold before beginning to add flour.5Step 5: Continue to mix. As flour begins to take on elastic consistency of dough, remove ice cubes. Knead until dough is not sticky and has the consistency of a pie dough.6Step 6: Separate dough into 4 portions. Pinch off 'walnut' sized balls and place on a work surface. Work each ball in the palm of your left hand (if you are right handed). Use your right hand to tuck the dough under and into itself, working to make it a smooth ball. As balls are formed, place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.7Step 7: Once all the balls are prepared and the dough has had a chance to 'rest,' begin by placing 6 balls on work surface. Using your fingers, press out the dough; then, with a small rolling pin, make oval shaped, flat forms.8Step 8: Using a tablespoon or small scoop, scoop filling into the middle of the flattened dough.9Step 9: After all 6 have been filled, fold each one in the middle, pinching the edges shut and making a moon shaped, filled pastry.10Step 10: You can make a beautiful edge by pinching and rolling under the edges. Or you can use a fork to crimp the edges with a nice, clean pattern.11Step 11: Continue with all the dough. This recipe SHOULD make approximately 84 burekas. Place on parchment lined baking sheets.12Step 12: Using a pastry brush, 'paint' with a wash made by beating an egg and 2 drops of water. Finish with a sprinkle of grated cheese.13Step 13: Bake in a 400 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes…or until golden brown.getsaucepan.com/r/a35e367d-561c-4857-9de0-389cf1e68238 · Original: https://bendichasmanos.com/category/burekas/
