SOME OF OUR PRODUCTS
Jak’s bakery will offer you an exciting and dynamic assortment of both sweet and savory baked goods, that take inspiration from Bulgarian traditions but offer a modern twist. They are hand-crafted from one of three types of traditional artisan dough that are specialties of Jak Latinov: sweet yeast dough, regular bread dough, and handmade phyllo dough.
Banitsa
Banitsa is a traditional savory Bulgarian pastry made from handmade phyllo dough. The dough is pulled and thrown overhead to stretch it until it is so thin you can see through it. It looks a bit like a billowing sail into which we fold a mixture of feta cheese and egg (traditional).

Kifla
Kifla is a crescent-shaped pastry made with sweet yeast dough. They usually have a sweet filling of rose hip jam or chocolate. One of our unique variations includes halvah, a Middle Eastern desert made with sesame seeds. This type of Kifla is surprising in its depth of flavor and is something that you can’t find anywhere else.
