Benkovački-prijzen

Benkovački prisnac is an authentic local delicacy from a small Croatian town called Benkovac. The dough for this flavorful bread-like pie consists of flour, eggs, sour cream, salt, oil, and fresh cheese. Traditionally, it is baked under a lid covered with hot embers (called peka), and that is the main reason why prisnac has a round shape. It can be prepared in a sweet version as well, when salt is replaced with sugar. In the past, prisnac was prepared on Sunday, when the whole family was together. Today, the dish is an attraction, and it has recently been prepared in a large version, with a diameter of 2 meters, 20 kilos of cheese, and 100 eggs.
