roll the remaing dough at the same size of the date paste
put the date on the dough and make a roll.
brush it with the small egg wash,
roll the roll in the sesame seeds, to cover it all,
cut it to 1 cm slice using bread knife, put it in your baking tray " do not grease it, no need",
brush all the shapes with egg wash, and top it with sesame seeds or black seeds or cumin seeds, set aside and let rise for half an hour.
look to my sink!!!!! that is the cost i have to pay every time to have my home made bakes, asking myself:does it worth????
Crying:"hellllllllllpp",my dear husband use to come and help me in such critical situation.
preheat the oven to 220 C,and bake it for 10-15 minutes till golden.
put it on a wire rack, done!!!!
It worth,i love these delicious bakes, i can not even stop eating it.

Thank you edh, you are welcome , try it and you will never stop making it.
please do not forget to share your borek photos with us.
I hope to try making some of your delicious-looking breads. You make it look easy, Chahira, but I see the hands of a gifted baker at work. Thank you for sharing so generously of your time and creativity, and thanks also to your husband and children for parting with you while you prepared the message for us.

I am sooooo glad to meet such amazing people like you , we are all in love with the magic of the yeast , and of course the flour.
Thank you and you are welcome.
I will do my best to share more recipes with you.
Thank you for your very nice words.
I'm far too lazy to try making these wonderful baked delights myself (eating them would be another story though), but I read all the posts and had a big smile on my face throughout. Such generosity flying around the ethernet, instead of voting each other off the island. I'll keep watching this post for the latest reports.
Mmmmmm, I can't wait to try this recipe.They are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing with us.
