Bosnian Chicken Pie

Cultural Context

Bosnian Chicken Pie, or 'Pita', has its roots in the Ottoman culinary tradition, reflecting the region's rich history of layered pastries. This dish is often served at family gatherings and celebrations, symbolizing hospitality and warmth. Today, variations can be found across the Balkans, with each region adding its unique twist to the filling and pastry.

BABAmain
6 servings
Servings4
12.5 oz flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
3.5 oz yogurt
3.5 oz carbonated water
14 oz water
oil
1.5-2 lbs chicken (legs, thighs, skin on)
1 tablespoon Vegeta
9 oz heavy cream
1

Set oven to 480F. Oil a baking pan, and place inside the oven to warm up.

2

Wash the chicken. Place in a bowl. Add seasoned salt and 2 tablespoon of oil. Mix, then set aside.

3

Combine flour, yogurt, egg, salt and water, and mix well until smooth (about 5 min).

4

Carefully take the hot pan out of the oven, and pour the flour mix in. Shake pan lightly to even out the mixture. Distribute chicken parts on top evenly. Follow up with remaining oil from the bowl.

5

Return the pan to oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes at this temperature. Check on it often making sure it's not catching too much color on top. If it blushes too quickly, cover with foil.

6

Turn the temperature down to 390F. Bake additional 20-25 minutes. The dough should be light yellow with brown overtones, just a little bit crunchy and tough, while softer in the middle.

7

Take out and put 1 tsp of butter near each chicken piece. Return to oven for 5 minutes.

8

Take out and pour milk evenly underneath the pie, starting at each corner. Turn the oven off and return the pie in for another 10 minutes.

9

Pour yogurt over the pie.
