Thank you, this was perfect. I’m a pastry Chef and love to do everything with lots of work, but I must say when you try something this easy, and the results are so remarkable. Love it. Presentation is beautiful.

Thanks so much for your reply, Phoodie!
I may just have to use a smaller pan. Still excited to try the recipe though :) Thanks again, eh? <3

Canada! Oh that’s so awesome! Hello Liz! Gee…. I am afraid I don’t know what to tell you… My dish belongs to my Mum who has them in every size! She has had it for ages! That said, if I had to go looking for one I would head to cake supplies wholesaler places…. or sometimes Asian grocers have this kind of thing!??! In any case, you can just reduce the quantities slightly and make it in a smaller dish if thats what you have?!!? I typically use Metal but there is no reason that glass shouldn’t work well too!

Hi Phoodie!
Your recipe looks amazing and I am so excited to try bougatsa made this way, all bunched up in a circle! :D
I have one question though: where did you find your 35cm round baking pan?? I am having an incredibly hard time finding one, even when I search for the equivalent size in inches (13-14 inches = 35cm). I’m searching stores and online, but even Amazon and eBay aren’t coming through for me on this one. The biggest I can seem to find is 10 inches.
Any recommendations? Or alternative baking soshes I could use?
Also, do you recommend a glass or metal baking pan for bougatsa?
Thank you so much for your help! Love from Canada!
