About the dish

Pohorc is a traditional bread originating from the Pohorje region. This homemade bread is usually made with a combination of wheat flour, rye flour, yeast, salt, and water. The yeast is mixed with flour, salt, and water in order to make the dough. Once it has doubled in size, the dough is kneaded and shaped into a round loaf. After some time, when it has risen again, the loaf is baked for about an hour in a hot oven until the bread becomes golden brown and crisp. Pohorc is typically enjoyed with local cheese and cold cuts.
