OH what memories!!! My husband is Croatian and his two aunts came and made it at my house. I was amazed that it literally draped off my table like a tablecloth. The filling was different A little as she did the same with cheese and egg but she added sugar and then grated a small apple and then spread it over the dough very thinly. She rolled it the same way like long sausage in pan and then baked it. It was wonderful!!! His aunts are long gone now. My small children then are now in their 40's With their own children. We always remember the Burke at Christmas and Easter. Such a shame but I nor any of the family made it because We could never roll the dough so thin. And didn't even attempt to. I miss them so much and all the Croatian food they made. I can make good sourma cabbage rolls the Croatian way with sour cabbage. Delicious. I loved watching this video for wonderful memories. Tomorrow I am going to call my Croatian relatives to tell them about this. Maybe finally one of us will try!!!!

I am so glad to hear this. I learned to love and make burek ( Balkan pita) from my mother in law with different fillings like meat, cheese, potatoes, cabbage etc. Now I can make them on my own. 😊 They are really such a comfort food. My husband love them so much and always ask for me to make it with meat.hehehe I also just made a video recently and it's filled with potatoes. I hope you can check it out. Instructions to make the filo dough is more clear. 👌👍 Thank you again for watching and let me know once you finally make one. 👍💕😍😘

[@RDNXHELLFIRE]

That's amazing

[@susanbyrd1668]

Thank you so much. I worked with Balkans overseas cooking for the US military. When we had time they would make Burek and other amazing Balkan food. I would come home to the US for vacation and never could get the Burek to work. Our jobs ended 5yrs ago. With your video, measurements & the comments maybe now I might have success. Thank you again 8:11

Great job 😊

[@marletteslife]

Thank you dear 💕💕💕

[@connichristensen5809]

Wow! That is SO impressive. I can’t believe how far you were able to stretch that dough. If you accidentally tear the dough, do you just glue it together with some water or oil?

[@marletteslife]

Thank you sweetie! If that happens, you just go on and try not to make the tear/hole bigger. The technique is to let the oiled dough rest so it is easier to stretch. 😊

All the way from Bosnia to San Francisco 😂.... yeah only in Bosnia Have a good day every day ;)

[@nxte.b]

What kind of yogurt did you use??

[@marletteslife]

Hello there! I just used our regular yogurt here in Bosnia which has 2.8% fat. It is quite watery is usually used as a drink alongside these pitas. Brand is called Meggle. You can also use any Greek or thicker yogurt if you wish to. Hope this helps! 😊

Sto si promenila ime bas me zanima

[@crzy233]

My husband is Bosnian and his mother recently went back to Bosnia and all he talks about is how much he misses the sirnica pita!! I’m going to give this a try what flower were you using ?

[@marletteslife]

Bosnians take pride in their pitas, specially the ones made at home my their wife, mother or grand mother. I always T500 or is close to all purpose flour. We call it white flour here. I'm glad you'd give this a try!!! 👍😃❤

[@maggielesniak8163]

What type of cheese?

[@marletteslife]

I used fresh cottage cheese but you can also use feta or ricotta.😉

[@RDNXHELLFIRE]

Where do I get the cloth

[@marletteslife]

any cotton table cloth will work just fine. :)

[@RDNXHELLFIRE]

@@marletteslife ty I've been trying to figure that part out. This will be my first time making pita. My bosnian coworkers use to bring me some and I always wanted to impress them by making it.

[@marletteslife]

@@RDNXHELLFIRE that's great to hear! The secret to making homemade Bosnian pita is practice and figuring out what works for you. If you make the jufka from scratch, you will have to familiar yourself with its texture from kneading to stretching. Also while working on it, make sure that there is no draft in the area, so you'll need to close the windows or door and turn off aircon. The dough needs a warm environment so it is easier to stretch. Goodluck! ☺👍🏼

[@RDNXHELLFIRE]

@@marletteslife thanks for the feedback!! I can't wait to make it
