Ingredients
| 3 | small eggs | |
| 80 g | white cheese | |
| 40 g | kashkaval | |
| 10 | shpek salami slices | |
| a knife's tip | black pepper | |
| 2 cups | 480 ml | flour |
| 1 | baking powder | |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | oil |
| a knife's tip | salt | |
| 3 tbsp | 45 ml | sun-dried tomatoes, diced (from a jar in olive oil) |
| 150 ml | milk | |
| 2 tbsp | 30 ml | white sesame seeds |
| — | oil - for greasing the tins | |
| — | flour - for dusting the tins |
Instructions
- Sift the flour and add the baking powder to it. In a bowl, beat three eggs with a little salt (a knife's tip) and black pepper (also a knife's tip) using a mixer. Add the milk and the oil. Beat with the mixer. Gradually add the flour and beat with the mixer.
- Crumble the cheese (I used homemade hard white cheese). Cut the kashkaval into small pieces (the kashkaval I used is soft, also homemade). Cut the shpek salami into small pieces.
- Add the shpek salami, the cheese and the kashkaval to the other ingredients. Stir everything with a spoon. Finally add the sun-dried tomatoes, which are diced from a jar in olive oil. Stir everything.
- Grease a loaf tin with oil and dust with flour. Pour in the batter. Sprinkle with white sesame seeds. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C. Bake until a nice crust forms. Check with a skewer whether it is baked. Remove it from the tin. Cut into pieces at the end, after it has cooled slightly.
