Roll carefully and place in the center of the baking tin. Continue wrapping the rest of filo sheets with both fillings. Gradually, the circle will grow bigger and fill the whole baking tin. Grease banitsa on top with a cooking brush for a nice, crispy, brown crust. Bake in preheat oven at 200 C for 30 minutes. |
