For banitsa, it is necessary to knead a stiff dough from flour, salt and water. Set the dough aside for 1 hour.
For the filling, mash the cheese, beat the egg with yogurt and combine everything. Add soda, mix well.
After the dough has settled, divide it into several parts, and roll out a thin layer of no more than 1 mm from each part. Greasethe layers of dough with oil, put the filling and twist into rolls.
