Belokranjska Pogaca
Also known as: Belokranjska pogača
Round scored wheat flatbread with egg, caraway and coarse sea salt.
About Belokranjska Pogaca
The Metlika farmers’ wives association’s specification records Belokranjska pogača as a traditional Bela Krajina flatbread. This fresh-yeast version uses white wheat flour with an egg-coated, caraway-and-salt surface.
Caraway gives the bread its distinctive aroma and flavour, while coarse sea salt seasons the crust. Sugar belongs to the yeast mixture within the simple dough.
The round loaf is thicker in the centre and thinner at the edges. Its light-brown crust has a square grid, allowing the warm bread to be broken into portions along the scored lines.
