Croatian Bread Recipe, not the fancy, holiday kind?

Question

Does anyone have a recipe for Croatian bread? Just normal bread, not the fancy holiday kind, just a loaf of bread. It tasted so different, maybe with cornmeal in it? Or something else I just can't nail. Any help would be heartily appreciated.

Answer 1

Pogaca (Farmer's Bread)

1/4 cup shortening
2 pound flour
Salt
2/3 cup yeast cake
1 1/3 cups water

Mix shortening in 1-1/2 pounds flour; add salt and yeast previously dissolved in a little lukewarm water and mix. Knead well, occasionally sprinkling the dough with the remaining flour. Dough should be neither stiff nor soft. Roll the dough out into the size and shape of a round baking dish. Oil or grease and flour the baking dish and place the dough in it. Cover. Let it rise for 15 minutes. Prick with fork, starting 1 inch from the edge and making circles spaced 1 inch from another. If desired, brush with egg yolk. Bake in a hot oven (425 F) about 1 hour. When it is half done, set the oven on moderate.

Serve Pogaca cut into a long narrow strip.
