This kind of pull apart bread is traditionally called Pita in Bulgaria. It is often eaten on big family events such as weddings, baptism, engagement and more. It is also favorite childhood breakfast as my nanna is just an amazing baker. I like to serve  this bread with honey drizzle and drink ayran (laban) with it. It is just too good! My version is with sourdough which makes it taste just like the original one from few decades ago.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 eggs
• 100 g milk
• 100 g yogurt

5. Once rested gently knead and divide into two balls
6. From each ball make 2-3 smaller balls.
7. Roll each one on a clean and dusted with flour surface
8. Make a roll from each one and then cut onto thick rings around 4-5 cm (you can also put some feta type cheese in between the layers)
