Breakfast: Мекици (Mekitsi) – Breakfast: Fried Yogurt Dough

Breakfast Мекици (Mekitsi) are golden, puffy discs of fried dough made with yogurt and flour — crisp on the outside, soft inside. At MUNCH CLASSES, you’ll learn how to knead, rest, and fry these Balkan favorites to perfection.

Mekitsi are a grandmother’s love letter — often served with powdered sugar, jam, or white cheese. The saying “Мекица с мед, ден без бед” (“Mekitsa with honey, a day without trouble”) reflects their comforting charm. At MUNCH CLASSES, we explore how mekitsi are tied to childhood, hospitality, and weekend mornings.
