Česnica

Česnica is a Serbian round-shaped bread consisting of flour, salt, water, and yeast. Traditionally, it is prepared on Christmas Eve, with a coin baked inside the loaf. The name of the bread is derived from the word čest, meaning to share, referring to the fact that it is shared communaly on Christmas morning. The bread is typically rotated three times counterclockwise before each consumer is allowed to tear of a piece and consume it.
