Tirit pita

Tirit pita is a traditional Bosnian savory pastry made with yufka sheets, chicken, and sour cream. The chicken is cooked, without any condiments, in water until cooked, and a broth is created. The chicken is then deboned, and the meat is shredded. The pie is assembled in a big round baking dish — first a layer of yufka, then a layer of meat and sour cream, and then another layer of yufka. This step is repeated until everything is used up, and there is a yufka layer on top. As each layer of yufka is placed inside the dish, it should be poured over with some of the chicken broth left over from cooking the chicken. The assembled tirit pita is baked in the oven and then topped with some melted butter. Tirit pita is usually served with a sauce, a mixture of yogurt or sour milk, melted butter, garlic, and salt.
