Panitsa

Panitsa is a type of sweet quick bread or sweet roll, traditional to Bulgarian cuisine. It is typically made with flour, eggs, yogurt, sugar, and baking soda, sometimes with the addition of oil or butter. The mixture is baked until golden brown. It is often served as a breakfast item or snack, particularly on weekends or special occasions. Variations exist, with some recipes calling for raisins, lemon zest, or other flavorings. While similar to other types of sweet breads found in the Balkans, Panitsa is distinct in its specific ingredients and preparation. It is considered a comforting and familiar food in Bulgarian culture.
