About Proja

Proja is a traditional bread dish from Serbian cuisine, popular across the Balkans. Made primarily from cornmeal, water, and oil, it may also include ingredients like yogurt, eggs, cheese, or baking soda, depending on regional variations. Known for its simple preparation and rustic flavor, Proja is often enjoyed as a side dish or snack. Its high cornmeal content makes it gluten-free if prepared without wheat flour, catering to those with gluten sensitivities. Additionally, cornmeal provides essential nutrients like magnesium, fiber, and B vitamins. However, Proja can be high in calories or saturated fats if richer ingredients like cheese and eggs are heavily used. Its versatility and comforting taste make it a cherished staple, offering a balance between indulgent and nutrient-dense depending on the recipe.
