About the dish

Pofaláča is a traditional dish originating from the Posavje and Bizeljsko area near Ljubljana. The dough is usually made with a combination of flour, yeast, salt, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk. It's left to rest before it's kneaded into a circular shape. The dough is typically topped with ocvirki (pork cracklings), chives, and scrambled eggs, and it's then baked in a hot oven until golden brown. This nourishing savory pie was usually made as a treat for children who were waiting for the bread to bake.
