Bulgarian Banitsa |Traditional Dish | Pastry | How To make

Hey guys,
Today I am in the kitchen making a traditional Bulgarian favourite.... BANITSA!!! This the national dish made from filo pastry!
Normally Banitsa is eaten at celebrations or special days...or if a family just fancies eating it that day.
I hope you learn something from my tutorial and try to make it yourself..
The Method:
Please watch my video for step by step instructions and lots of cooking tips. The baking temperatures are very important and will be explained in the video.

500g filo pastry (room temperature)
500g raw spinach (or 225g cooked) cold and very dry
5 large eggs
300g feta style / Bulgarian cirene cheese
200g plain yoghurt
1 sleeve (10g) baking powder

Great job ☺️ as a Bulgarian I love it very much . There is another way to make it - you can fright the spinach in oil than you don't need to dry it and add oil later. The spinach will release it's liquid which will despair very shortly . It's quickly and easy 😉

Hi, next time at the end instead of melted butter, try with one or two eggs, you will see a great golden color.

[@anetawierzbowska5085]

Interesting. Have you tried to make something similar but with puff pastry?

[@ScotsmanInBulgaria]

Hi, thanks for the comment... No, we haven't tried with puff paste.. I think it will make it heavy and chewy.. speaking from years as a chef..

[@anetawierzbowska5085]

@@ScotsmanInBulgaria maybe, but the part with too airy is what I don't like about this dough exactly 🙃

[@ScotsmanInBulgaria]

@@anetawierzbowska5085 I can give a go and see how it works out 🤗👍🏻

[@nikkiweeksy2487]

Just wondering if you've ever found a decent Bulgarian yellow cheese yet? The feta is lovely but would like to find a decent kashkaval.

[@ScotsmanInBulgaria]

They don't really do kashkaval.. your best bet is visit Kaufland or Lidl for a good quality cheddar 👌🏻
