    Default Macedonian Food, Cuisine and Recipes

    Pogacha (Pogaca, Погача) version 1



    Hi guys, so holidays are gone and hopefully I'll have more time to write on this blog. Many of you e-mailed me about recipe for pogacha (pogaca, погача), which I assume that is the sweet version you're looking for. Well, I have three different recipes for sweet version of pogacha, so you can choose which one you want to make. This is the first version:

    Recipe:
    1000 gr flour
    150 ml milk
    250 ml yogurt
    50 ml vegetable oil
    2 eggs
    1 cube (or package) yeast
    100 gr sugar
    125 gr butter
    pinch of salt
    water (if needed)

    If you're using frozen yeast cube, warm the milk a little bit, dissolve the yeast into it and then add and dissolve the sugar in it. If you use package of dry yeast, the milk can be cold, just dissolve the sugar and yeast in it. Sift the flour, mix the pinch of salt in it and then add the milk with the dissolved sugar and yeast, the yogurt and oil. In a bowl crack one egg, and from the second one just add the egg white. Keep the yolk for egg paint. Beat the egg and egg white and add them to the flour and other ingredients. Mix everything until it's soft and smooth dough (add water if it's too hard or flour if it's too soft). Knead the dough until smooth, shape it into ball, and leave it to rest until the size of it has doubled (approximately 1 hour in warm place). When the dough has raised, roll it into rectangle and spread 1/3 of the butter on top of it. Overlap the dough one half on the other (like you're closing a book). Spread the second 1/3 of the butter and overlap again. Then spread again and overlap again. Roll the dough in 2 cm thickness and cut it into equal pieces (cubes). Shape each piece into ball (the size should be like golf ball) and into place it in the center of a greased round baking pan. Shape the other pieces into balls and arrange them to the center piece so you'll have flower shape. Keep arranging the dough balls until you use all dough. Add 1 tablespoon of water into the egg yolk and beat it well. Spread the egg paint onto the pogacha and sprinkle it with little bit of sugar. Leave the pogacha to rest for 10 minutes (until the oven is heated). Heat the oven to 200 degrees C and bake the pogacha for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to 180 degrees C and bake for 20-25 min more (until the sides of the pogacha are brownish). When the pogacha is baked, take it out of the oven and cover it firs with some clean thick plastic bag (the plastic foil might melt), and on top of the bag place a kitchen towel. Leave it to cool like this. Then you just break pieces of it and eat:-)

    Good thread CelticViking.

    The tradition Macedonian dish called Tavce Gravce (Тавче Гравче) is usually know as the national dish of Macedonia and amongst ethnic Macedonians.



    Ingredients:
    500 gr. beans
    250 gr. onion
    1 clove garlic
    50 gr. oil, solt
    1 tablespoon flour
    1 tablespoon red peper
    dry mint and parsley

    Before you begin, wash and soak the beans in water, then put it to boil. You need to be carefull not to overboil the beans because the beans remain whole. The surplus of water is poured out but not compleatly. Chop the onion finaly and fry them with a bit of oil. When the onions are fried add the required red peper, stur it nd you add it to the beans. Add black papper and garlic to taste. The prepared binsd are then transfeared into a terracotta pan, sprinkle pestled red papper, with chopped parsley and dry mint. Sprinkle it with a bit of oil. In summer time you can add round pieces of tomato and fresh paprika, and in winter you can add dry paprika. After this preparation the beans are put inside a oven to bake, but you have to be carefull to leave it juicy.

    It is interesting how the ancient Macedonians were wine enthusiasts, and known for their wine, the same as the modern Macedonians are enthusiastic about their wine, which is winning wine competitions all over Europe, including France.
