About Lepinja
Lepinja is a soft, round flatbread originating from Balkan cuisine, particularly popular in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia. Made primarily with wheat flour, yeast, water, and salt, it has a fluffy texture and mild flavor that pairs well with various dishes, including grilled meats, spreads, or traditional fillings like ćevapi. This carbohydrate-rich bread provides energy, but its refined flour can lead to a quicker spike in blood sugar compared to whole-grain alternatives. On the positive side, Lepinja is low in fat and can be part of a balanced meal when consumed in moderation alongside protein and fiber-rich foods. It may also be served lightly toasted or stuffed, depending on regional tradition, making it a versatile option in Balkan-inspired diets. However, monitoring portion sizes is key to maintaining healthy eating while enjoying this cultural staple.
