Woven banica is a traditional pie that I have enjoyed making for years. The southern railway is responsible for its creation.

Crusts develop very easily and don't let them get in the way of pie making.

Even when the crust is split, it does not diminish the pleasure. The pie is airy and soft, you can fill it with both salty and sweet filling, it is equally good and tasty.

Sukana banica is a traditional pie that I have been preparing with pleasure for years. The southern railway is responsible for its creation.

  • 600 ml of lukewarm water
  • 1 tablespoons of oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 kg of flour
  • 4 tablespoons of oil (for coating the crust)

For the filling:

  • 300 g of cheese
  • 200 g spinach (finely chopped)
  • 5 pieces of eggs
  • 1 spoon of salt
  • 3 tablespoons of mineral water (for sprinkling the crust)
  • 1 stalk of leek (finely chopped)
  • 10 tablespoons of oil
  1. Put lukewarm water in a suitable bowl, add oil and salt and knead a smooth dough with flour. Immediately divide the dough into 5 parts and separate each part a little with your hand and coat with a spoonful of oil. Cover with transparent foil and leave the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes.

  4. The crust is so easy to develop, pull the dough in a circle from all sides with your hands. Remove the excess dough from the sides. The crust will cover your entire table.
