It is a sweet pastry made of rolled phyllo, similar to strudel, filled with sweetened grated pumpkin pulp and baked in an oven.

Bundevara is a Serbian pastry that captures autumn in every bite—phyllo wrapped around sweetened grated pumpkin, then baked until golden and dusted with icing sugar. It's close kin to strudel, but the filling is distinctly its own: warm spice notes of nutmeg or cinnamon, sometimes studded with raisins or brightened by lemon rind. Eat it hot from the oven or let it cool; either way, it delivers the comfort of a dish that's been passed down through generations.
