(2)
2 hours 30 minutes
This is a very popular snack in the Balkans and quite pretty when it is baked. You'll need a bit of space to roll out the dough.

- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- Dough: Melt the butter and mix it into the flour, salt and warm water to create a ball of dough. Cut it into 4 parts.
- Filling: Warm the butter and mix it with the meat, the onions, the yolks and salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Thinly roll out one of the balls of dough and leave it to dry for a few minutes.
- Brush the pastry with oil or melted butter, put one quarter of the filling on one side of the sheet and roll it until you get a long thin roll.
- Starting in the middle of a baking dish make a spiral out of the roll. Bake for about 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Repeat for the other three.
