Doputa

Doputa is a type of bread originating from the Czech Republic. It is a simple, unleavened flatbread, often made with a mixture of rye and wheat flour. Traditionally, doputa was a staple food, particularly in rural areas, and was a convenient way to use leftover dough. Its preparation typically involves rolling out the dough thinly and then baking it on a hot surface, such as a baking stone or a griddle.

The resulting bread is usually crisp and has a slightly chewy texture. It is often seasoned with salt and can be flavored with caraway seeds. Doputa is versatile and can be served as an accompaniment to meals, used as a base for toppings, or simply eaten on its own. Its rustic nature and simple ingredients have made it a part of traditional Czech cuisine. While not as commonly found in modern bakeries as other breads, it remains a familiar and appreciated food in certain regions and is sometimes prepared at home for its authentic taste and cultural significance.
