Directions
1.

Make sure to mix everything well so all the ingredients will be well combined.

Make the bourekas - step 1
Take one rice paper and let it sink into the water mixture for about 15-30 seconds.
Make sure to dip all of the rice paper into the water.
After 15-30 seconds, move the rice paper to a dry, clean, surface when its wide open (As it was before we dipped it into the water).

Make the bourekas - step 2
Using a spoon, place your filling onto the center of the rice paper.
Now, fold the paper to the desired shape.
I fold it as if it was a present:
Fold the rice paper into half, towards the center (From the bottom to the upper side).
Fold the left side to the right side, while covering the filling.
Fold the right side to the left side, while covering the filling.
Roll the rice paper upwards.

Bake the bourekas
Preheat an oven to 180C.
After you shape each bourkes, put it on a baking tray when the folds are facing upwards.
Then, sprinkle some sesame and/or nigella seeds on top of it. Repeat.
Once you have all the bourekas ready, bake them for about 30-40 minutes. They should have a golden color once they are ready.
When the bourekas are ready, move them to a cooling rack and them cool. Don’t let them cool on the hot baking tray.
