Instructions:
- Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare filling: Mix chosen ingredients and set aside.
- Assemble the rétes:
- Lay 2 sheets of phyllo on a damp towel, brush lightly with melted butter.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs lightly (to prevent sogginess).
- Repeat layering with 2 more sheets, brushing each with butter.
- Spread filling evenly along one edge.
- Roll up carefully (like a jelly roll), tucking in sides.
- Bake: Place seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush top with butter. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Cool slightly, dust generously with powdered sugar, and slice into pieces.
✨ Tips:
- If using homemade dough, stretch it carefully on a floured cloth until paper-thin before filling.
- Sour cream on the side is a very Hungarian touch!
- Best eaten warm the same day, but also delicious at room temperature.
Would you like me to write out the traditional handmade rétes dough recipe (the stretch-until-transparent kind), or do you prefer the easy phyllo version for now?
