Today I start with the first of the day the breakfast.
The typical bulgarian breakfast is Banitza with Borsa or coffee...

For a orignal big Banitza formed as a snail-shell and 40 cm (diameter)
You need 500 g flour, 250 ml lukewarm water, salt, for the stuff 250 g bulgarian sheeps cheese, if not available take a good Feta cheese, 250g Youghurt even bulgarian or a tasty one as turkish or greece. 1/2 tsp of baking soda, 2 eggs, 60 g butter.

Sieve the flour on the board, push a hole in the middle, add some salt and pour the water in the hole and start to stir the water, so that the flour miexd slowly with the liquid, as long as the whole flour and water is mixed and now knead the dough till have a fine, elastic and shiny dough. Cover the dough with clingfilm and let stand it for 1/2 hour you even can stand it over night in the fridge.
After this you divided the dough in several, best will be 5 to 8 balls. These balls form into thin sheets, best 0,5 mm. For the stuff beat the eggs, pour the yought, grind the cheese into and add the soda.
Now line the sheets with the melted butter and top the one side with the mixture, roll together, closed the ends and place in a circle, best in a road baking tin, or pizza tin.
Bake it by 170°C for around half in hour in the oven, line for 2 or 3 times with melted butter and or water.

Served hot.
For breakfast the best is to bake the single sheets in small circles or lenghtwise.

You can filled Banitza with different other things tradional you can find in Bulgaria fillings of spinach or leek.
It is even served at public holidays or names day celebrations.

Have a try for breakfast and baking

Hi Sune
Think the recipe idea is great. We all the loved the Bulgarian soups, have tried making some since we got back but they are not like the ones we had on holiday . Do you have any soup recipes?

I'll stick to the iced fried egg with fatty bacon thanks. It sounds alot less hassle and in true Bulgarian style you can make it the night before and pop it in the fridge saving time in the morning.

Okay Dave, thanks, think the same, but the the soda is gone at night, so better have only the dough in the fridge over night.

We really liked the veal soup and there was also a tomato soup that was particularly good but there was only one place we went in that had that on the menu. Thanks
