About the dish

Sirova zafrknjača is a traditional dish originating from the Kozjansko area. The dish consists of dough that's topped with a mixture of cottage cheese, sour cream, eggs, and sugar. The dough is made with a combination of flour, yeast, milk, and salt. It's kneaded into a circular shape and it's then topped with cottage cheese, sour cream, and sugar. The edges of the dough are folded just around the topping, and the pie is then brushed with a mixture of eggs and sugar before it's baked in the oven until golden brown. There is also a savory version of this pie and it's made by replacing sugar with salt. Sirova zafrknjača is always served warm, and in the past it used to be baked for field workers and on holidays.
