The Balkan Peninsula are known for their pies. They can do any kind of pie and it really taste good.
Living here in Bosnia and Herzegovina has opened up my eyes bread and pies. Their life will never be complete without this comfort food. And I have come to love it and make it.
This video I will show you how to make a cheese pie or they call it here "sirnica". A pie made out of fresh cheese or you can use cottage cheese. You decide how you will form your pie since they have to many options how to form it. I did mine as a single piece pie. Husband loves it surprisingly since it was my first attempt. And yes I have to learn from this first experience of mine. Brought some to the in-laws and I really want them to be honest with me so I can change if there a need for an improvement. But it turn out the way they like it. The hardest part is as usual the making of the thin dough or they call it here "jufka" the phyllo dough. Enjoy the video.

Recipe:
For the dough:
450grms all purpose flour
1.5 tsp salt
3 tbsp regular oil
260ml lukewarm water
extra oil for brushing
Note: you need the cotton blanket to cover your table
Directions:
Mike the above ingredients in order. Knead for 8 minutes, cover it let it rest for 45 minutes.
Once it rested roll it into circle (follow the video) and brush oil all over it and let it rest for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes you can now start stretching it out. Start from the center of the dough. Just dig your arm into the middle to stretch the dough outward. Pull it out same as the video until it will cover the whole table.

for the filling:
500 grams of cottage cheese or fresh cheese whatever soft cheese you like
3 eggs
salt as per your taste
just mix it all together
