Bougatsa in Thessaloniki: inside a basement bakery making a Greek breakfast legend

Bougatsa is a traditional Greek pastry made from filo dough filled with semolina cream, cheese or meat, served warm with icing sugar and cinnamon. In Thessaloniki, the best versions are made in unassuming bakeries off the tourist trail, where craftsmen work in basement workshops from the early hours. A visit to one such spot, a short drive from the city centre, reveals the hands-on process of layering filo and hand-portioning each piece.
