Grease the baking dish well with butter and layer it with a few sheets of dough, brushing each with a little oil. Place half of the cheese mixture on top and cover with a sheet of dough, brushing it again with a little oil. Use the remaining cheese mixture and cover with the rest of the dough sheets. Brush the top layer of dough well with oil.

  2. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the burek for 45 minutes. Once baked, cut it into four pieces and serve with yogurt.
