About Gibanica
Marija Petković’s gibanica appears in Ražanj’s collection of dishes prepared in a crepulja clay pan. Her Rujište version makes its own pastry sheets before filling and rolling them with homemade cheese and eggs.
Cheese supplies the principal dairy flavour, with pork fat enriching the pastry and oil joining the filling. Salt seasons the dough; the selected recipe does not include the yogurt found in some other gibanica formulas.
The filled rolls sit together in the heated clay pan, with remaining filling spread over them before baking. This named local version preserves its homemade-sheet construction, rather than replacing it with a packaged phyllo recipe.
