This was handed to me by a Bulgarian Lady, who ran a restaurant/Pub near my University, frequented by lots of students. This is rich, filling and a bit time consuming, but really worth the effort. This makes a lot for a hungry crowd.
This is an old authentic recipe for Bulgarian bread, baked on festive occasions like New Year’s Eve, christenings, weddings, etc. It takes a bit of time to prepare, but is worth every second of it. It looks great, tastes fantastic and your guests would be impressed.
Skalitsa Banitsa Recipe – Now world recognition This is probably the most famous Bulgarian recipe bar shopska salad and with the pastry now bought in a ready to use form from shops is very simple to make. This particular recipe was given to me by my Bulgarian neighbour Rosa who is also local nursery schoolteacher. It is as far as I’m aware only local to my village Skalitsa which has in my totally unbiased opinion gives better results than the original National recipe. Hence the name ‘Skalitsa’ Banitsa
Important note! You will need 1 tablespoon of *Belizean recado rojo to prepare this recipe. My fine Belizean friend Ms. Jardìn taught me how to make these tortillas! Furthermore, she is my one and only *homemade* recado rojo supplier (direct from Belize!) and I must remain in her favor…*Belizean recado rojo contains achiote as its main ingredient but includes other spices (but not limited to) such as allspice, oregano, cumin, clove, etc.; recipes vary widely from region to region home to home in the country of Belize.
