This is my category for Balkan bread, borek and baking recipes. Here, you will find interesting ideas for festive and everyday breads, delicious boreks with sweet and savoury fillings and other baked foods.
The Balkan peninsula has centuries-long traditions in baking. Festive breads are prepared for most holidays back home. Sweet breads are baked for Easter and Christmas, and large pitas are offered at weddings and baptism ceremonies.
In the Balkans, we were brought up to pay special respect to bread. There is even a local saying that there is nothing more precious than bread. Bread is served with every meal and is present on every table.
Filo pastry boreks are Balkan classics, often served for breakfast or snack.
I hope you enjoy my Balkan bread, borek and baking recipes.
