Banitsa
A traditional Bulgarian baked pastry made with layers of phyllo dough filled with a mixture of eggs, yogurt, and white cheese (similar to feta). It can be sweet or savory, but the most common version is cheese-filled.
🧂 सामग्री
- 1 package Phyllo dough sheets(thawed if frozen, about 16-20 sheets)
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Bulgarian yogurt(or Greek yogurt)
- 16 oz Bulgarian white cheese (Sirene)(crumbled, or Feta cheese)
- 0.5 cup Butter(melted)
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 1 pinch Salt(to taste, optional as cheese can be salty)
- 1 pinch Black pepper(freshly ground, to taste)
👨🍳 निर्देश

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and yogurt until well combined. Stir in the crumbled cheese, baking soda, salt, and pepper.

Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo sheets.
- 4
Gently roll the two sheets of phyllo together from the wider side to form a log. Place the log in the prepared baking pan.

Repeat step 3 and 4 with the remaining phyllo sheets and cheese mixture, arranging the logs in a circular or spiral pattern in the pan until it's filled.

Brush the top of the banitsa with any remaining melted butter. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Remove from oven, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓If Bulgarian yogurt or Sirene cheese are unavailable, Greek yogurt and Feta cheese are good substitutes.
- ✓Taste your cheese before adding salt, as Sirene and Feta can be quite salty.
- ✓Work relatively quickly when handling phyllo dough to prevent it from drying out. Keep unused sheets covered with a damp towel.
