This bougatsa recipe is for one of the most traditional breakfast pastries from Chania Crete.

Unlike other versions of bougatsa across Greece, bougatsa in Chania is made with the local cheese known as mizithra cheese.

We first discovered bougatsa in Chania Crete and tried it at Iordanis, the oldest and most famous bougatsa shop in town.

Here are the ingredients to make bougatsa for about 6 people.

Ingredients
8.8 ounces or 250 grams of Greek Mizithra cheese
6 phyllo sheets
½ cup or 125 ml of milk
5 tablespoons or 70 grams of flour
5 tablespoons or 7.5cl of corn oil for the mixture
3 tablespoons or 5cl of corn oil for greasing the phyllo dough and baking tray
2 tablespoons or 25 grams of sugar

Instructions
Prepare the mixture:
Place the cheese into a mixing bowl
Add the five tablespoons of flour
Pour the milk into the bowl
Mix well until the flour is well incorporated into the cheese
Add the corn oil and mix again

Prepare the Phyllo Sheets:
Count Six phyllo sheets and place them on a flat surface
Fold one have of phyllo and make a square
Carefully slice left the sheets and put aside
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush one phyllo sheet
Then brush the second phyllo sheet
Once all three sheets have been brushed
Pour the mixture into the center of the phyllo sheets and spread gently
Fold one corner of the phyllo sheets and then fold the opposite corner to meet in the middle
Repeat for the other sides and you should have a square - like a square envelope
Gently tap the envelope to seal it
For the next three sheets, oil each one as before and place all three on each other
Gently take the cheese filled envelope place it on opposite ends of the phyllo sheets
Brush with a little oil and fold again to make a slightly thicker square envelope
Brush again with a little oil using a pastry brush
Flip it around and place it on an oiled baking tray
Brush a little oil and place in preheated oven
Serve with sugar and cinnamon

Tips: Don’t worry if the phyllo sheets break when folding the bougatsa
