Tutmanic is a typical and favorite Bulgarian breakfast. What makes us to love it so much:
1) The airiness of the dough. It is so light and elastic that when you break it, it regains its shape.
2) The layers – the dough is rolled and saturated with butter. It’s like tearing silk into a thread that melts in your mouth.
3) The feta cheese – the distinct and unique taste of cow’s cheese gives an irresistible combination in which you fall in love forever.
How we achieve air Tutmanik dough:
To get this fairy and airy texture, the dough must rise 3 times. This is the only reason not to make this unique Bulgarian dish too often. It takes time.
Divide the dough into parts, roll each into a thin crust. Line the first crusts on top distributing part of the cheese and butter mixture. Then set over the second one, repeat – cheese and butter and finish with the 3rd crust- butter and cheese. When baking, the butter makes fine lovely holes. Delicious!
