Hello Ken love this video. I am excited about trying this love bougatsa. I just have a question what brand of fine semolina do you buy and where?

Hey George, I typically use the fine semolina for sweets and pastries and I just grab it from pretty much any grocery store….

Hi! I came across with your video and can't wait to do it.. I have seen others recipes and people cover the fill and wait for about 1 hour before put it in to the phyllo pasta and oven....you didn't....its the same result at the end?

Dear Ken, Thank you very much for this detailed video. I'm planning to prepare bougatsa but I'm finding difficuties with choosing the right pan. Could you please tell me what are the dimensions of the pan that you are using in this video? Thank you in advance!

[@KensGreekTable]

Thanks very much Yordan!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I typically use a 9”x13” baking sheet for my pitas.

[@Youssef-1911]

Hi ken , how many days bougatsa will remain delicous or its better to make 1 portion for 1 day to eat it crunchy ? But it will be small portion , what do u think about that ? Its easier to eat it fresh everyday in greece every morning , hooe to visit soon again

[@KensGreekTable]

I would make smaller quantities and just keep eating fresh. Always better that way but you can also freeze your bougatsa and just bake for service. Good luck Youssef....

What number phyllo and on the butter is it sweet or salty

[@anthonysmith778]

Do you butter the pan 1st?

[@user-tn1zn2gl2n]

is the butter you use unsalted or regular butter? thank you

[@KensGreekTable]

For most of my baking recipes I use salted butter....

[@TeeTirado]

I’m converting to vegan version I used wheat free gluten flour instead of semolina, simply eggs (vegan egg), coconut sugar (although the color is dark, almond unsweetened milk and vegan butter. My custard not as thick as quickly as yours, do I have to let it sit and if so how long minimium?

[@sonyatavitian3550]

Hi Ken...love your videos! I'm Armenian, but our family comes from Greece. I make this but I make them individually and I've been wanting to see how it's done in a pan since it's so much easier! so glad I came across this! May I ask how big the pan is that you're using? Also what are the dimensions of your phyllo? I have a few choices of phyllo here and I'd like to get the same size you used in your video since it fit perfectly in the size pan you're using. Thanks so much! Keep those videos coming! :)

[@KensGreekTable]

Hey Sonya, Thank you for your comment and kind words!!! Very much appreciated. The pan I was using is a 10”x14” baking sheet actually and the phyllo is the standard size (whatever that means LOL). Good luck and let me know how it turns out for you... Cheers, Ken🇨🇦

[@lvons7327]

Ken! Your Bougatsa looks close to perfect. I just tried you recipe today and it came out all wrong. First I struggeled to find phyllo sheets (so I went and bought youfka instead). But the worst thing...the bougatsa remained kind of liquid. Maybe you could add the measurements in gramm and milliliter? Otherwise the taste was great, just as I remembered from Chalkidiki. Efharisto!

[@KensGreekTable]

Sorry to hear about your Bougatsa. Although there are tons of online measurement converters it sounds like maybe it needed a bit more time on the burner for it to tighten up....

[@jaimieorfanos4684]

Is the main difference between this and galaktaboureko just the syrup??

[@KensGreekTable]

There is also a slight difference in the custard as well....

[@dimitralazarotossis8531]

what is the different (except the syrup ) from bougatsa to galaktopouriko ?

[@KensGreekTable]

The custard is a little different and one uses cinnamon and icing sugar and the other a lemon ayrup

[@anthonysmith778]

I cant wait to make this. Having a dinner party this weekend. Doing 5 courses of Greek and Spanish food. This is my dessert. Main is Greek chicken and rice. 1st is tomato tartare from Spain but will go well. I wanna get cooking. Want to give my friends to best meal I can put in front of them. My buddy does beef better than any restaurant I've EVER been to. Can't order steak any more. He's ruined me. I want to ruin him with this

[@kevin1337ninja]

Hi Ken! Quick question, when you put the custard mix back on the heat and whisk it, what temperature is the heating element on? I know I typically use medium heat on a stovetop to make a custard. I visited Greece 4 years ago and eating Bougatsa was one of my favorite memories! I'm definitely going to give this a go and see how it turns out!

[@KensGreekTable]

I wouldn’t go higher than a medium heat Kevin. Better to take your time and thicken the custard slowly than rushing and having it catch on you....
