    I’ve been trying to make tsourekia now for around 40yrs using Greek cookbooks and following Greek cooks on TH-cam and the tsourekia never ever worked for me they came out like bricks. Followed your recipe and my tsourekia came out perfectly. My family loves them. Thank you for your easy to follow recipes. You’re a god send. Love your videos they’re very informative and funny. Keep up the good work. Καλή Ανάσταση. Cheers.

    Such a great video, clear and easy to follow. Did you put both pans in the oven together, like one above the other and if so did you swap the pans halfway?

    • @nikolopaa
      @nikolopaa  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks heaps Adaris! I did put them both in together one ontop of the other.
      Sometimes I do switch them around and sometimes I don’t. But I always open up a few times when I can see the colour forming and at that point if I think it needs a rotation I will :)
      I think it just depends on the oven also. Hope this helps!

    Hi Niko
    Looks amazing
    Where can I purchase baking trays like these ?
    Or could you please give me the depth and length ?
    I have never made tsourekia before
    Also could you kindly guide me where to purchase that protein flour and spices ?
    I have some maxlepi - not sure on the other ones
    Thanks in advance
    Hope to hear from you shortly 😊

    • @maryanazou9771

      Niko don’t worry
      I’m making them now
      I didn’t realise it may take a few hours to rise
      I remember mum would get so upset waiting 😮
      So I’m going to stay cool and try to be at peace 😅
      While I wait …
      Καλή ανάσταση
      I’ll let you know how they turn out
      Btw I googled the flour you use and went to local Woolworths
      They had run out of boxes (maybe too many ppl making your recipe and using your tips)
      So …. I walked away disheartened
      Then I went back to try find a similar one
      And a few shelves down there was 1 box of yours and the other one I got is an Italian one - (brand Molino) for bread pizza etc
      I thought, “thank you God” for the 1 last packet Niko uses
      And finding something similar (using the rest of the half kilo)
      I have never made tsourekia before
      Took 3 days off work to do those things my beloved mum always does
      Thank you again
      I love your recipe and praying 🙏🏼 they turn out similar
      Ps - going to use Bessemer pans to cook them - they look similar in depth and length to yours
      I read the measurements on the recipe
      😊

      @nikolopaa  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey Mary! Hope you had a great easter :) 🙏❤️
      Haha if that's why they ran out of the flour that would be pretty funny 🤣
      Apologies for the late reply but really appreciate your comment and reaching out. Glad you enjoy the recipe and hope that they turned out great for you!

    • @maryanazou9771
      @maryanazou9771 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes we had a great Pascha
      And my tsourekia were to die for in taste however they aren’t that fluffy.
      What do you suggest Niko ?
      Maybe coz I only used a kilo of that flour and 1/2 kilo of that Italian one ???
      Yep they all went and bought the flour you suggested 😂
      I wished I could send you pics
      I want to try make them again in June on our school holidays
      I’m a teacher in primary school
      Any tips will be so appreciated
      They are very yum though
      Took ages to rise
      Then the processes of rising
      The balls to rise
      The πλάσιμο of Tsourekia to rise
      The house was a φούρνο
      Winter and in singlets 😅
      I don’t know how our mum’s make 3 times the batches in one hit
      My lower back was wrecked after the 6
      Absolute άχρηστη
      But I was so rapt to try ❤ thanks 🙏🏼

      Hey Alice :) Thanks for the comment! I am not to sure, it could be a range of different things. Just double checking that you were using a similar bread flour ? Did you allow it to rise to double ?
      Its hard to pinpoint exactly but really happy that you managed to get some that you were happy with!
      Hope you had a great easter 🙏❤️
