Advice

Seal the edges firmly and avoid overfilling, because klepe should stay tender and neat without opening in the boiling water.

Why it works 💡

Thin dough keeps the dumplings soft, onion makes the beef filling juicy, garlic yogurt brings creamy acidity, and paprika butter adds warmth, color, and classic Balkan depth.

Twist 🌶️

Add 40 g crumbled white brined cheese (¼ cup / 1.4 oz) over the finished klepe for a richer tavern-style version with extra salty creaminess.

Status

Juicy beef dumplings, garlic yogurt, paprika butter, and parsley make these Bosnian Klepe pure Balkan comfort in every warm bite. 🥟✨
