Gjomleze (ѓомлезе) originates from the southwestern part of Macedonia. 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!
