Banitsa, the Bulgarian feta cheese pastry, is ubiquitous in Bulgarian life. After living in Sofia for nearly a year, banitsa is the first food I missed upon returning home. This is the recipe I wanted to share with the world and the reason I started thinking about writing this blog. In Bulgaria there was a small kiosk outside my apartment building that sold warm banitsa. So I had a ready supply whenever I wanted a taste–which was often. However, I had to get there early because they would sell out daily. I would also find banitsa in other kiosks throughout the city, or sold from vendor windows along the sidewalks, or in cafes, or in people’s homes…as I said, it was ubiquitous.
