Ingredients needed:
- 1 kg of flour
- 2 eggs
- 5 small spoons of cooking oil;
- Add Water and Salt as Needed
- 600 grams of spinach
- 100 grams of feta cheese
- (Optional) 200 grams of bacon
Filling: chop the vegetable and fry it on oil for a while.
Prepare the paste: Divide it into two pieces and then each piece divide into 10 equal pieces. Make a "kora" of each piece. "Kora" is a thin peace of paste made by rolling tin. Spread some oil on each "kora" and put one "kora" on another until you use 10 for one big "kora" and the other ten for another big kora.
One "kora" should be bigger than another. Take the smaller one and put it at the bottom of a saucepan. Spread the filling. Put the other "kora" (the bigger one) on the filling and place it nicely. Pour some oil on top.
Put the saucepan in the oven. Bake it on temperature of 250°C for 15 minutes and then reduce it to 180°C for the reamining 15 minutes. Enjoy!

I think the paste is a mixture of Greek Feta with 3 egg, 10 cups of Spinach, 500 gr of Ricotta, 200 gr Fetta cheese (usually Bulgarian) and quite bit of Olive oil with inexpedience as as well as brushed onto the Pastry sheets. Usualy 375 gr Fillo Pastry Sheets is enogh but depends on the size of a baking dish .

Zelnik, the way my mother makes it in de
I have uploaded a detailed recipe of the way my mother, and now I, make Zelnik. Being detailed it contains all the equipment and ingredients you will need and photos and instructions of what to do. It will take half a day for the first attempt so make sure you give yourself enough time but you will get quicker each time. There are many ways to make Zelnik and there is no definative version that is right or wrong, they are just variations on a common theme. Enjoy!
Here is the link. http://members.ozemail.com.au/~georgefilev/zelnik/ Guest

Filling recipes
Anther way my Baba made Zelnik is to spread the filling over a finely thinned out kora and then roll it up into a long piece. She then coiled it into a large round pan to bake. Great texture.

wait
Bibi, there are two ways to make zelnik:
Put it in the middle like my grandma did, or, you can also put it under one Kora, not necessarily under each, no need for that (too complicated). Mike, if you can\'t make the paste, don\'t attempt this  Guest
