Eastern European Breads

Hi!

This September, I`ll spent about a month traveling by car around Eastern Europe. The round trip will start (and finish) in Prague (Czech Republic).

I`ll be visiting Vienna (in Austria), Budapest (in Hungary), Split, Dubrovnik, one of the Adriatic islands and the Istrian town of Porec (in Croatia), Piran, Ljubljana and Bled (in Eslovenia), Venice (in Italy) and the region of East Tirol and Salzburg (in Austria).

What are the unmissable bread tasting opportunities along this route?

Any tips will be deeply appreciated!

Take care.

Lucky you bruneski.

I have been to Split, Ljubljana and Dubrovnic.  All beautiful. The Adriatic is just amazing.  Not on the top of my list of favourite breads, but since it is part of my heritage, you need to try Pogaca or Lepinja. Excellent with cevapi.

Also, not quite a bread, but you have to try either burek or pita.  My favourite eats of my heritage.

Enjoy yourself.  While in Ljubljana

Thanks for the tip: lepinja with cevapi, right? In Ljubljana, correct?

Burek is a must too! Once, in Turkey I tried different delicious versions of Turkish börek! The simplest of them all, su boregi (or water börek) is scrumptious!

Have a great week!

Correct.  Lepinja is the bread and cevapi are the little hand made sausages.  One of the national dishes you must try.  With a roasted red pepper and eggplant condiment called Ajvar (pronounced Aye-var).
