About the dish

These Greek pastries consist of two layers of yeasted dough. The dark-colored part is enriched with cocoa and cinnamon and is neatly wrapped with a layer of white, vanilla-flavored dough. Roxakia is then cut into bite-size pieces, and when baked, doused in a sweet syrup. These pastries are best served well-chilled when they thoroughly soak up the syrup.
