Basic bread recipe i used pain flour and wholemeal . Sprinkled the top with aneeds after brushing with egg.

Oven baked Boreks

I used to make these often when i was living in Algeria but frying them as the oven was out of action there for 1 1/2 yrs of my stay. After browsing about on Henia's blog , i saw these and felt inspired to try them again. Henia's dough is the same recipe i use. I instead added wholegrain flour (brown flour) and brushed them with egg and baked them instead. I filled them with mushrooms, shrimps, feta cheese and spinach.
