- Preparation: 75 min
- Cooking: 19 min
- Makes: 1 serving (228 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free
- Contains: beef, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 90 g Flour, all-purpose
- 1.5 g Yeast, active dry
- 2 g Sugar
- 0.7 g Salt
- 50 g Water
- 5 g Olive oil
- 25 g Beef, dried
- 50 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 0.5 g Paprika
- 3 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water, then mix in the flour, salt and olive oil to a soft dough; knead for 8 minutes until smooth.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled.
- Shape the dough into a long oval 'boat' about 25 cm long on an oiled tray, and brush the surface with the vegetable oil.
- Lay the strips of dried cured beef (standing in for Macedonian pastrma) over the dough and bake at 220 °C (425 °F) for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden.
- Take the bread out, crack the egg into the middle, sprinkle with paprika, and return to the oven for 3-4 minutes more until the egg white is just set and the yolk still soft; cook longer, until the yolk is fully set, if serving young children, older adults or anyone pregnant.
- Serve immediately while hot, traditionally with a spoonful of plain yogurt on the side.
