Dijeljenica

Dijeljenica is a term used in Croatian to refer to a type of traditional Croatian bread. It is a large, round loaf of bread, typically baked in a special oven called a peć. The bread is known for its distinctive shape, which is often slightly flattened on the top and bottom, and its dense, chewy texture. Dijeljenica is often served as part of a traditional Croatian meal, accompanied by various dishes such as ćevapi, pljeskavica, or pašticada. The bread is typically sliced and used to soak up the juices from the meat dishes. It is also a popular choice for sandwiches and can be found in many Croatian bakeries and supermarkets. The bread is often made with a simple dough consisting of flour, water, salt, and yeast, and is typically baked at a high temperature to achieve its characteristic texture. Dijeljenica is a staple in Croatian cuisine and is an important part of the country's culinary heritage.
