Potato Pizza
My mom would buy potato pizza at our local Italian bakery many years ago….and we thought why not try making it ourselves! We know what flavour we were looking for and it seemed easy enough to make at home. This is our version of the potato pizza and honestly it tastes the same and even better!…
Broccoli Pizza
My daughter Dina loves this pizza! We like to stuff the crust with mozzarella and butter the edges and sprinkle garlic salt, makes for a yummy garlic bread crust!
I like to blanch my broccoli first, I have never made it any other way, if you make it without blanching do let me know how it turned out.

Spinach Burek
Spinach burek is one of my all time favourite bureks! Try it out and let me know in the comments how you liked it.
I made the cottage cheese optional as I don’t always add it, but it tastes great both ways. If I have cottage cheese I will use it but I won’t go out to buy it if I don’t have any. You can use more feta cheese if you want, as well.
