Don't be afraid of the pull test, it's interesting and useful. Thin unleavened stretch dough is very easy to prepare; it does not need to be rolled out. Try it and everything will work out. This pie, Turkish Borek or Albanian Burek, is made with salted cottage cheese, meat, cheese, spinach, etc. I decided to try it with pumpkin and potatoes.
