Description

Buttery, shattery phyllo wrapped around sweet grated pumpkin, walnuts, and cinnamonโ€”cozy bakery perfume in every slice. ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿฅฎ

Hook: Pre-cook the pumpkin so the phyllo stays crispโ€”golden, laminated sheets and jammy filling in under an hour. โšก

Advice

Cook the pumpkin dry and let it cool before rollingโ€”semolina then absorbs remaining juices, keeping the base crisp and the layers laminated.

Why it works

Pre-cooking drives off excess water; brushing thin layers of fat between sheets promotes blistered, glassy phyllo; a little semolina stabilizes the filling without making it bready.

Twist

Make ล opski tikvenik with a spoon of rosehip jam swirled through, or swap half the pumpkin for grated apple for a brighter, fruitier aroma.
