In a deep bowl, mix flour, lukewarm water, oil, and salt until smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough into 4–5 portions, lightly oil them, and rest for 10 minutes.

Dice potatoes into very small cubes (about 0.2 x 0.2 inch) and mix with salt and black pepper.

Cover a table with a clean tablecloth. Roll out the dough, then gently stretch it by hand until thin and transparent.

Spread the potato filling evenly over the dough and drizzle with oil.

Roll the dough using the tablecloth, cut into sections, and swirl into pie shapes.

Place in an oiled baking tray.

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden and crispy.

Cover with a wet cloth for 10 minutes after baking to soften the crust.

Serve warm with yogurt, the traditional Bosnian way.
