After half of the sheets are placed in the pan, a large portion of the filling is spooned onto the leaves and is then covered with the remaining sheets and filling in the same manner.

Then, the sheet is rolled up into a tight roll, with the filling on the inside. The long roll is then taken and rolled up in a circle. This first sheet of dough is then placed in the baking pan. The process is repeated with the remaining sheets of dough, and each consecutive roll is placed around the first one in the pan. The resulting shape resembles a spiral (see photo).

Traditionally, Bulgarians prepare and serve banitsa on two holidays –Christmas and New Year's Eve.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On these days, people add <span title="Bulgarian-language romanization"><i lang="bg-Latn">kasmeti</i></span> ("lucky charms") into the banitsa. These are usually small pieces of dogwood branch, which symbolize health and longevity. The branches are hidden inside the banitsa, and the banitsa is then baked. When ready, it is cut into as many pieces as there are members of a family, making sure that each piece contains a piece of dogwood. Two additional pieces are cut—one for the house and another for the Virgin Mary, who is the family's protector. A wish is associated with each branch, and the different number of buds on the branch helps to recognize the corresponding wish. The wishes include happiness, health, love, marriage, baby, wealth, success, travel, etc. The banitsa is then spun on the table, and everyone takes the piece that is in front of them when the spinning stops. The charms inside predict what one is to expect from the new year. </p><p>Alternatively, or in addition to the <span title="Bulgarian-language romanization"><i lang="bg-Latn">kasmeti</i></span>, some add a coin or little pieces of paper wrapped in tinfoil, with written fortunes on them. </p><p>The word "banitsa" is used as a <a href="/wiki/Simile" title="Simile">simile</a> for something (mainly documents and paperwork) creased, or badly maintained. For example, a police officer can make a remark to someone about letting his or her passport "become like a banitsa" (станал е на баница); a teacher might say this about a pupil's notebook. </p> <div
