For unleavened [bread], we would use the flour from “chenitsa” wheat.

Without it (leavening), we’d make what we called “fresh quickbread”.

in the dish, cover it with hot ash on top.

They cut the wood – a lot of it. And the women do baking. They make “pogacha”,

buns – they make little buns for the children. There are carolers, who come by –

73 (GK) pogàčutu sɤs kvasɤ̀c li

Is the “pogacha” (quickbread) with leavening?

75 (GK) ili bez kvasɤ̀c

or without leavening?

76 (a) s kvasɤ̀c se omèsi kolačèta pa drùgo drùgo pogačè sa tùri

You put leavening into the buns, but for a small “pogacha” it’s different. You put –

77 (a) pàj pogàča pa u n’èga se tùri parà

again for the “pogacha” – in those, you put in pieces of money.

87 (a) i se mèsi mèsi tùri se paràta i se mèsi mèsi

And you knead it. You put in money and knead it, knead it,

88 (a) umèsi se ùbavo i pòsle se pogàčata tùri da uzbùne

knead it up to be nice, and then put the “pogacha” aside to puff up.

89 (a) i ka uzbùne podìgne i se tùri ta se pečè

And when it puffs up, and rises, you put it in to bake.

In a baking dish. Yes, in a baking dish. And the “pogacha” bakes up.

Somewhere also in the outdoor oven?
