One serving has 238 kcal and 7 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of thiamin (48%), selenium (42%), riboflavin (33%), folate (33%), niacin (28%) and manganese (24%). Ready in 95 minutes.
- Preparation: 70 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (109 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
- Contains: egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 62 g Flour, all-purpose (Slovenian type 500)
- 38 g Water, lukewarm
- 2 g Yeast, fresh
- 0.3 g Salt (for the dough and the top)
- 6 g Egg, beaten, to brush
- 0.5 g Caraway seeds
Method
- Crumble the yeast into a little of the lukewarm water and leave it for 10 minutes, until it foams.
- Mix the flour with most of the salt, pour in the yeast and the rest of the water and work it briefly with your hand into a soft, slightly sticky dough; it is not kneaded for long. Cover and leave it to rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, until puffy.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured baking tray and press and stretch it with your hands, without a rolling pin, into a round about 2-3 cm thick.
- With a sharp knife, score a grid of squares about 4 cm wide across the top, cutting about halfway down. Leave it to rise for 15 minutes more while the oven heats to 220°C.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle it with the caraway seeds and the rest of the salt, coarse if you have it.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding underneath.
- Serve it warm. In Bela krajina the pogača is broken by hand along the scored lines rather than cut, and eaten with soup, or with cheese and cured meat.
