Required Ingredients
- 500 g flour
- 250 ml lukewarm water
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 100 ml oil or melted butter
- 300 g shredded cheese
Preparation Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
In a deep bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the egg and lukewarm water. Mix the ingredients until you have a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
2. Shape and Rest the Dough
Divide the dough into several small balls, cover with a damp cloth and let rest for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to pull the crusts out.
3. Prepare the Stuffing
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Mix the shredded cheese with a little oil or butter for a richer flavor. You can also add a beaten egg for extra thickness. For information on the types of cheese you can use, see this discussion .
4. Pulling the Barks
Grease your work surface and your hands with oil. Take one ball of dough and begin to gently stretch it until it becomes translucent. Repeat the process with all the balls.
5. Assembling the Banitsa
Place the pulled crust in a greased pan, sprinkle with filling and cover with another crust. Repeat until you run out of ingredients, ending with crust.
6. Baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until golden and crispy. For more information on baking pies, you can refer to this site .
