Advice

Let the proja rest before slicing, because the cheese and cornmeal need a few minutes to settle into a clean, soft square.

Why it works 💡

Cornmeal gives rustic texture, yogurt keeps the crumb tender, white brined cheese adds salty richness, and roasted peppers bring sweetness, color, and Balkan flavor.

Twist 🌶️

For a smoky tavern-style version, add 80 g chopped ajvar (⅓ cup / 2.8 oz) to the batter and reduce the milk by 30 ml (2 tbsp / 1 fl oz).

Status
