Good Homemade Mlinci (Baked in the Oven)

In the past, housewives used to make mlinci themselves, but today we usually buy them in stores. However, this is a real shame because homemade mlinci are very tasty and can be prepared quite quickly. To make them even more delicious and crispy, we added egg yolks to the dough and baked them in the oven.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 500 g Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • pieces Egg, egg yolk, fresh

  • 280 ml Water

  • pieces Water

  • pieces Fat, goose

Steps

  1. In a bowl, add the flour and mix it with salt. Make a well in the center.

  2. In a smaller bowl, whisk the egg yolks and mix them with water. Pour the mixture into the well made in the flour. Mix the ingredients in the bowl with a spoon until they come together to form a rough dough. Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead until it becomes smooth, elastic, and shiny. If the dough is too soft, add a little more flour while kneading. If it's too stiff, add a bit more water. The kneaded dough should be slightly firmer than the dough used for strudel.

  3. Preheat the oven to 240°C (464°F). Divide the dough into four parts. Roll out each part thinly on a floured work surface, about the thickness of a knife's edge. You can roll it into a rectangle, square, or any other shape. It's important that the dough isn't too large and can fit on a low baking tray lined with parchment paper. It's best to roll out the dough pieces gradually, meaning while one piece is baking in the oven, you roll out the next piece on the work surface.

  4. Just before placing the dough in the preheated oven, sprinkle it with water. This will create bubbles during baking. Bake the dough in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. It's done when it turns golden brown in some spots.

  5. Once the mlinec is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool. Meanwhile, place the next rolled-out piece of dough on the baking tray, sprinkle it with water, and bake it in the oven. Repeat the process until all the dough pieces are baked.

  6. Once cooled, break the mlinci into pieces and place them in a bowl. Pour boiling salted water over them and let them sit for a few minutes to puff up and soften.

  7. Drain the softened mlinci well and season to taste. They are especially good with melted duck fat or drizzled with hot bacon fat.
