Maslanica

(Maslenjak, Maslenica)

Maslanica is a traditional savory pastry from Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is made with thin layers of dough made with wheat flour, salt, and water, similar to phyllo dough. A version of maslanica made with whole wheat flour is also very popular.


The layers are stacked and sometimes filled with a mixture of butter and kaymak. The pastry is baked until golden and crispy and is usually served warm, either as a main dish or as a hearty snack,  often paired with roasted chicken. Maslanica is a beloved comfort food known for its rich, buttery flavor and satisfying texture.


It is commonly prepared for family gatherings and special occasions, reflecting Bosnian culture's importance of simple, home-cooked meals.
