Lisnata Pogača
Lisnata pogača (lee-sna-ta | po-ga-cha) has been one of my favorite breads that before this, I had never made myself. During certain special occasions, my aunt would surprise us with this piece of heaven. I would say it’s a cross between brioche and croissant in both the ingredients and methods. I promise it’s easier to make than to pronounce (for non native speakers) 😁.
Making bread has become one of my favorite things to do. If I’m being honest, making traditional Serbian recipes is something I am trying to do more and more as a way to enjoy childhood foods but more importantly feel connected to who I am. And if you know me, being Serbian is what I know best 😁.
There are many YouTube videos that are wonderful for learning how to make this. I decided to go with a video that has English subtitles (because why not make it as easy as possible the first time round). If you prefer a more standard bread look, YouTube has got you covered with recipes. I also really appreciate the look of this one and how it breaks off.
