Ingredients

Instructions

Coarsely grind the sheep's cheese. Stir 5 eggs until foamy, then mix with the yogurt. Add oil and the grated cheese to the mixture. Season with salt.
Preheat the oven to 170°C (338°F).
Brush a baking dish with oil. Layer the yufka pastry sheets and egg-cheese mixture alternately (starting with pastry, then filling, continuing to alternate) until the egg mixture is used up, ending with a yufka layer on top.
Mix the remaining egg with the sparkling mineral water. Pour this mixture over the banitza. Pierce the banitza in several places with a fork so the liquid penetrates. Sprinkle black cumin on top.
Bake for 45 minutes at 170°C (338°F) until the top is golden and set.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with yogurt on the side.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
