Pita is a savory pastry that is popular in Bosnia and Herzegovina and throughout the Balkans.
It is made with phyllo dough that is filled with a variety of ingredients such as spinach and cheese (zeljanica), potato (krompiruša), ground beef (burek), or cottage cheese (sirnica).
The phyllo dough is typically rolled out very thin and then layered with the filling before being baked in the oven. Pita can be served hot or cold and is a common breakfast, snack, or party food in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
