I used to have soubeureg at Armenian restaurants in Lebanon, and i used to like them a lot. But one day i taste a "home made" soubeureg at an Armenian friend place: it has nothing to do with the ones i had previously... This recipe takes time to prepare, but it is worth it. I got it from my aunt friend Zepur! Thank you Zepur!

ingredients

For the Dough:
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour, or more as needed according to eggs size
For the Filling:
600 g akkawi cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
For the Baking:
200 g butter, or more as needed

cooking method 

1. To prepare the filling, cut the cheese into slices and soak them in water overnight. The next day, drain the cheese from water for around 15 minutes and leave on a fabric to dry, for about 2 hours. Then grate them.

2. Mix the grated akkawi cheese with parsley and butter. This will be the filling. Set it aside.

3. To prepare the dough, whip the eggs with salt then add the flour and knead well to get a soft and firm dough. Add water if needed

4. Divide the dough into 12 balls and place the balls on a flat surface far from each other. Cover and leave them to settle in a cold place.

5. Flatten each ball into a very thin dough sheet of 35cm diameter in size and then place the sheets over each other and cover them.

6. While preparing the dough sheets, place 20 cups of water and 3 tsp of salt in a large saucepan over heat and leave to boil.

7. Place each dough sheet in the boiling water for 30 seconds then remove it and immerse in cold water immediately. Then place it on a fabric to dry well.

8. To prepare the soubeureg, coat a 40cm pan with butter and put the first dough sheet in it. Coat it with butter then place the second sheet on top and coat it with butter. Repeat the procedure until the 6th dough sheet.

9. After placing the 6th dough, spread the filling on top. Then repeat the process of layering the dough sheets and butter until the dough sheets are finished.

10. After finishing, coat the surface of the last sheet with butter then cut the soubeureg into cubes of 7*8cm and bake in the oven on 375⁰fahrenheit (190⁰celcius).

11. You can add more butter to the soubeureg during the baking to prevent it from drying.

12. Serve the soubeureg hot.
