Bradić Helida Buckwheat Phyllo Pastry Sheets 430g (15.2oz)

Bradić Helida Heljdina Jufka are ready-rolled Serbian buckwheat phyllo sheets — thin, pliable pastry rounds made with genuine heljda (buckwheat) flour for a richer, earthier, more nutritious alternative to standard wheat jufka, ideal for the savory burek, zeljanica, and gibanica pies at the heart of Serbian baking. Bradić is a Serbian pastry producer following the traditional craft of hand-rolling jufka — the thin stretched sheets that are the foundation of Balkan pastry-making; buckwheat has been cultivated across the Balkans and Carpathians for centuries, with heljdina jufka a regional speciality of Serbian mountain cooking that adds earthy, nutty depth and a naturally wholesome character to any pie. Gibanica and burek made with homemade jufka are the highest expression of Serbian domestic baking — a skilled domaćica rolling her own phyllo is an image of household mastery, and buckwheat adds the distinctive nuttiness that marks a mountain village pita from its lowland counterpart. Use directly as a substitute for standard phyllo: brush generously with oil or melted butter between each sheet, fill with cheese, spinach, or potato, and bake until deeply golden and shatteringly crisp.
