Tropanec is a Croatian specialty bread originating from the area of Novi Marof. It is made with just a few simple ingredients – corn flour, soda bicarbonate, salt, a bit of sugar, and sour milk. The dough is formed into a large circular shape, and it is then baked in the oven until golden brown.

Before the baking process, the dough is typically pricked with a fork. This unleavened bread is traditionally served for breakfast. Although it is typically made with corn flour, the bread can also be prepared with rye flour or wheat flour. In the past, tropanec was sometimes baked directly on the stovetop, which is the reason why it is often referred to as kolač na tabli (plate-baked cake).
