Calories 450 kcal
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 10 g salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 packet dry yeast
- 250 ml water warm
- 50 ml vegetable oil
- 500 g pork meat traditionally preserved, or fresh, cut into cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
Dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
Pour the yeast mixture and vegetable oil into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Meat:
Season the pork cubes with salt and pepper.
If using fresh meat, sauté the cubes in a hot pan until they're browned on all sides. If using preserved meat, you can skip this step.
Assemble the Pastrmajlija:
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into two equal parts.
Roll out each portion into a flat oval shape, roughly the size of your baking tray.
Place the rolled-out dough on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Distribute the seasoned or sautéed pork cubes evenly over the dough, pressing them lightly into the dough.
Bake:
Bake the Pastrmajlija in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven, crack an egg on top of each Pastrmajlija, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the egg is fully cooked.
