Pogacha (round loaf)
Ingredients:
wheat flour, salt, vinegar, sunflower oil, a pinch of sugar, lukewarm water, savory, fenugreek
Method:
Make dough with the wheat flour, salt, vinegar, sunflower oil, and set aside to rise. Then make balls from it and arrange them in a baking dish around one ball in the middle. Apply some raised dough decoration to the central ball – create flower or sun designs. Sprinkle the round loaf with savory and fenugreek and bake in a moderate oven. This round loaf is given away to the community on the Intercession of the Theotokos feast or on other religious feasts.
