Brush each yufka sheet with about 1 tbsp olive oil and spread roughly 2 tbsp of filling on it, leaving a 5 cm border. Fold dough into rectangular packets so there is at least one more layer of dough. Brush again with olive oil and place seam side down on parchment‑lined baking tray. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
