OHRID GJOMLEZE

Mostly prepared in Ohrid, Struga and Prespa If you ever visit these parts of Macedonia, search for gjomleze prepared traditional way. It is a big soft white pie with a crispy crust. It is still prepared in the same way as hundreds of years ago; with a traditional cooking apparatus called a “sach” (сач). We don't use the sach in this recipe and it can also be prepared in the oven. Be prepared to spend several hours for this specialty, but it's definitely worth it!
