Bulemas
Bulemas or boulemas (also known as rodanches) are a traditional baked pastry in Sephardic Jewish cuisine. They are made from a yeast dough that is thinly stretched and filled with a savory mixture, with spinach being a popular option, and then rolled into a spiral shape. Once baked, the pastry boasts a delicate and flaky texture akin to that of phyllo-based pastries, like the Turkish Kol böreği and the Greek spanakopita.
