665583 Sun Nov 08 10:43:07 -0800 2009 10 2 Los Angeles Area 0 5165147 I'm dying to make a Croatian cheese pastry that's boiled then baked. I cannot find large sheets of puff pastry dough in my area. Does anyone know where there is a Croatian market or any other kind of market (not Jons Market, please) where I can find this type of pastry dough? I need a place that is south of the Culver City area or in Culver City. Thanks! (Pepperidge Farms frozen dough won't work for this recipe.) Ok, I just found the Goga Market right after I posted this. I'm still looking for something closer to home. Thanks!

One response was someone also reccomended the puff pastry at Trader Joe's, good luck.

They might even make the dish themselves. Their Web site doesn't seem to be working, but here's the LA Times review: http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-find8-2009apr08,0,5475092.story Sun Nov 08 17:00:37 -0800 2009 5165147 281830 Harry Nile 2 5168953 Agree w/Harry. Good call. Mon Nov 09 19:31:25 -0800 2009 5165817 90755 Phurstluv 2 5176951 I called Pavich's so thank you for the suggestion. The man who answered my question told me to go to Goga Market and that's where I went! Thanks, again!

I'm not Croatian so I wasn't sure what half of the things were that they sell there. The owner was just wonderful and was very helpful. He told me that the puff pastry they sell is the kind that you can roll out into huge rectangles. I bought 4 packs of the stuff and was amazed just how far I could roll out one piece of the pastry dough. I made a three and a half foot apple strudel that night! I'm ready to use more of the dough to see if I can make a danish kringle or kingler with it.

Thu Nov 12 15:32:43 -0800 2009 5176948 90755 Phurstluv 2 5177908 I'd never heard of Goga, but it's apparently been around for a while. Here's a very nice review: http://www.yelp.com/biz/goga-international-food-market-rancho-palos-verdes Thanks for the follow-up, AnnieAmie. I was at Tip Top Meats & European Deli in Carlsbad recently and wish I'd looked for that kind of puff pastry. Thu Nov 12 23:24:18 -0800 2009 5176948 281830 Harry Nile
