Salamka

Salamka is a type of savory biscuit or breadstick originating from Bosnia and Herzegovina and widely popular throughout the former Yugoslavia. It is characterized by its thin, elongated shape and often a crispy texture. Salamka is typically made from a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, salt, and sometimes oil or butter.

Variations of salamka exist. Some are plain, while others are seasoned with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, nigella seeds, or a sprinkle of salt on top. They can also be flavored with herbs or spices mixed into the dough. The baking process results in a crunchy exterior and a slightly softer interior, depending on the thickness and baking time.

Salamka is a versatile snack and is commonly enjoyed on its own, served as an accompaniment to various dishes, or used as a base for toppings like cheese or spreads. It is a popular item in bakeries and homes, often consumed with coffee or as a light meal. The term "salamka" itself is thought to derive from the word "salam," referring to its elongated shape.
