Pie, banica, gibanica, sukana, from ready-made crusts, savior... If you are a pie lover, TESTIVAL is the right place for you.
TESTIVAL – A PLACE WHERE THE DOUGH RULES!

Her majesty the bender! If you haven't tried your hand at stretching the crust yet, a professional chef Dejan Ilic and the vice-president of the TESTIVAL Association will show you how to make the best bender pie and how to stretch the crusts by hand!
What is pie and what is banica?
The answer to this question was given by Vladmir M. Nikolić in the book Ethnological materials and discussions from Luznica and Nišava, edited by Dr. Jovan Erdeljanović and printed in 1910: "In the villages of this region, the peasants eat meat pies and banice, all with cheese . Pita it is called when cheese is wrapped in obge (soups), a Banica is when obge (soups) are stacked on top of each other, and between them cheese is mixed with butter or lard."
In any case, we can't forget that in Serbia everyone has their own version of what pie is and what banica is! Every house in these areas, especially in the east and south of Serbia, has its own version of pie and banica. Different versions can be found even in individual houses: e.g. the sister-in-law makes them one way and the mother-in-law another. So many people, so many tempers - and so many versions of pie and banica!
And the Association TESTIVAL and Dejan Ilić will do their best to show you how to knead the dough that is often eaten - pie bender! And that it is not so difficult.
Of course, apart from these "woven" versions, there are also "sour" banicas. But that's a separate topic...
TESTIVAL #2 is not a place where you just chase after products that are pleasing to the eye. Traditional, healthy foods from an organic environment will be the focus of all exhibitors. More than 30 exhibitors from all over Serbia will present dough products, and there will also be various homemade juices, jams, honey...
The expert jury of the TESTIVAL Festival Council will choose from among the exhibitors those who have particularly expressed themselves, and who will carry flattering titles: Best TESTIVAL BRAND and Best TESTIVAL PRODUCT, and the award ceremony will be held at the end of the second day.
2. Dough, pasta and bread festival TESTIVAL, will be held in Dorćol Platz, Belgrade, Dobračina 59b, on Saturday and Sunday, 17.10. and 18.10.2020, from 11 a.m. to 18 p.m. The price of a one-day ticket is 100 dinars. Tickets will be available at the entrance to Dorcol Platz.
