I followed your recipe but the layers at the bottom of the spinach came out soggy and not flaky. Do you think it happened because of spinach or I didn't bake it long enough. I have a gas oven so i almost backed it for 45min. The top most layer was golden brown and flaky. Kindly let me know what I did wrong. I would love to try some more recipes from your blog. <br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />God blessLaceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-75124598245440028522011-03-22T13:20:38.881-07:002011-03-22T13:20:38.881-07:00Excellent!

Instead of 20 phyllo, use 4 yufka. The shape would be different, too. If you're using a square/rectangle oven dish, lay one round yufka at the bottom; divide the others into 3 or 4 pieces, lay on top, and place the stuffing in the mid layer. close the top with the over flowing yufka that you placed at the bottom.Burcuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291775178560434313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-36535268895027235852011-01-27T11:16:43.483-08:002011-01-27T11:16:43.483-08:00Selam Burcu, I was wondering if the method would ...Selam Burcu, I was wondering if the method would be the same if you used yufka instead of phyllo.

However you can totally bake it a day before and either heat in the oven or microwave it at the party. It would be great even when it's cold. <br />Boarding school and amazing food? What boarding school did you go to?

I have a party to attend Friday night and would love to bring this with me but wont have enough time to assemble it all and bake it after I get home from work. On the same note, would it be better to bake it and just reheat it the next day? Thank you so much for sharing your love for cooking as I truly miss Turkish food after studying in a Turkish boarding school all through high school and being spoiled by the amazing food!<br /><br />Regards, AynaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-9708426207555286562010-03-08T10:11:33.498-08:002010-03-08T10:11:33.498-08:00Nice to be here and know this kind of blog belong ...Nice to be here and know this kind of blog belong to Turkish Recepies.<br /><br />Lucky my friends who are from all the world; from now on i am going to share the link who interested in Turkish Kitchen<br /><br />Thanks dear :)Peritozuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13479173956247688898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-67418224681440037902009-03-12T12:50:00.000-07:002009-03-12T12:50:00.000-07:00My mother has made these for years.
