Belokranjska pogača

Belokranjska pogača stands 3 to 4 centimeters tall with a round shape, marked by distinct patterns of crossed lines on its golden surface.

This flatbread emerged in the 15th century when Uskok settlers from Croatia and Serbia established themselves in the White Carniola region of Slovenia.

The bread follows specific preparation rules where it must be torn along scored lines rather than cut with a knife, fostering communal dining experiences.

The preparation requires basic ingredients including flour, yeast, water, milk, and salt, with the surface decorated with caraway seeds and coarse salt.

Belokranjska pogača received recognition as the fourth Slovenian dish to obtain the European Union protected designation of origin certificate.
