Today we sat down and tried 13 different bakery items from a few different bakeries around Zagreb. We tried both traditional pastries, and a few more modern ones, and we rated them on a scale from 1 to 10!

I love all of the bakeries in Croatia. They're practically on every corner, and they're filled with a thousand different varieties of sweet pastries and savoury goods.

Here they are in the order that we tried them:

1. Burek - a delicious, flaky, phyllo-pastry, filled with cheese. It's salty, not sweet, but it's a perfect mid day snack, very filling and a very traditional Croatian bakery item!

2. Slanci - another traditional item found in all Croatian bakeries. My kids love it. It's very plain and basic, but who doesn't love a soft breadstick with a lovely salty glaze swirled on top?

3. Krafna - not your typical North American doughnut, but the ones from Mlinar are very good. They have a nice sweet coating of icing sugar on top and they're usually filled with jam (although I prefer when they're filled with chocolate :)

4. Piroska - a very traditional bakery snack that Ivan remembers eating as a child throughout elementary school! A simple fried dough with a creamy-cheese filling. Who doesn't love a little fried dough? They were pretty good!

5. Buhtla - we got this filled with chocolate, but you can also find them filled with jam. They are quite a traditional product as well, but I can say they're delicious. The chocolate inside the one we tried from Pekarnica Svetice was absolutely delicious. Ivan thinks it tastes like Nutella on bread. Either way, a nice sweet snack if that's what you're in the mood for.

6. Lisnato s visnjama - a phyllo pastry filled with cherries. It tastes just like a cherry pie, and it was pretty good. I prefer a chocolate filling, but this filling was quite nice. The pastry part was very flaky, which I really like!

7. Strukli - this is absolutely a traditional "dish" in Croatia, as it's typically served as part of a meal. It can be served with breakfast, as an appetizer for lunch or dinner, it can also just be a quick snack. It's very versatile and can be made either sweet or savoury. We tried the salty version and it was delicious!

8. Strudla od jabuke - this is basically just an apple pie in a different form. It was really good. Ivan likes strudel better than lisnato, because the dough is more of a "hand made" type of dough, rather than a more flaky pastry. The apple filling was delightful and I would definitely recommend this to others!

9. Puz s makom - I'm not sure how common it is to bake with poppy seed back home, but I love that type of filling. This was like a cinnamon roll, but filled with poppy seed instead. It was pretty good. When I first moved to Croatia, I couldn't stop eating pastries filled with poppy seed!

10. Pita s krumpirama - kind of a potato pie. This is one of my favorites lately. I often get this little snack when I'm out and about running around. It's like a potato pie in a stick form and the filling is absolutely delicious. It's salty, peppery, and just has a really nice taste. Also, the outer layer is a bit crunchy, which I like!

11. Paski klipic - this is a little sandwich that's made with a special cheese found in Croatia, Paski Sir (from Pag Island). It's a very famous cheese, and it's great! The bread also has olives baked inside, which makes the sandwich all that much more delicious. There is also red pepper spread, and it just makes the sandwich come to life. It's a great snack on the go!

12. Topli Senvic - this is kind of like an open faced veggie sandwich. Ivan loves this one and gets it often when we're running around. It has nice slices of zucchini and tomatoes with cheese and some oregano on top. Its great when it's fresh from the oven!

13. Spek rolica - this was my least favorite out of everything. I'm not a huge fan of spek. I like "typical" bacon, like the kind you find in North America, but spek isn't my thing. The corn bread on the outside was nice though, and I'm sure anyone who likes bacon and spek is going to love spek rolica!

There are definitely so many other items we could have tried, but we wanted to show you the most traditional pastries, the more modern ones, and also the baked goods that we just like the best. We think it's a good variety, but we'd love to hear from you if you think we forgot some any staple items from the bakery!

Let us know which ones are your favorite (or which ones you don't particularly love) in the comments below.
