Golden Banitsa

Ingredients

• 200 g Phyllo Dough
• 200 g Sirene
• 2 pcs Eggs
• 150 g Bulgarian Yogurt
• 50 g Butter
• 1 tbsp Sunflower Oil
• 0.25 tsp Kosher Salt

Method

1. In a large bowl, crumble {sirene}, whisk in {eggs} and {bulgarian_yogurt}, then add a small pinch of {kosher_salt}. Mix until the custard is evenly combined and thick but still spoonable.
2. Melt {butter} with {sunflower_oil} over low heat in a small saucepan until fluid and glossy, without letting the milk solids brown.
3. Brush a baking dish lightly with the melted {butter} mixture. Lay out {phyllo_dough}, brush each sheet with the melted {butter} mixture so the layers shatter when baked, spread the {sirene} custard over the sheets, then roll into loose logs and coil them in the dish.
4. Bake the coiled banitsa in a preheated oven at medium heat until deeply golden, crisp on top, and the {eggs} custard is fully set in the center.
5. Rest the banitsa briefly so the layers settle and slice cleanly, then serve warm with a light sheen of the remaining melted {butter} on top for extra aroma and gloss.
