Cyprus - Flaouna
A typical easter bake from Cyrpus, Flaouna is a delicious cheese pastry filled with mint, raisins and herbs. The dough is coated in white sesame seeds before adding in the filling which gives these a delicious nutty flavour. If you can, get your hands on the traditional spices (I’ve included some substitutions in case you can’t.)

Hungary - Pogácsa
These Pogácsa are the flakier, yeasted version of an English cheese scone/American biscuit. By using cold grated butter and laminating three additions of cheese, you get intense cheese flavour with lovely flaky pastry.

Ireland - Soda Bread
For those of you who have never encountered Soda Bread, it is a hearty dense 'quick bread' made without yeast. Instead, it uses Bicarbonate of Soda as a raising agent. It has quite a dense texture but is great if you want something fresh and quick.
