📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Uštipci are small fried breads loved in Bosnia and across the Balkans, made by scooping a loose yeast batter into hot oil. They're crisp outside and fluffy inside, eaten for breakfast with cheese, kajmak (cultured cream), or jam, and they go well with yogurt too.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a weekend morning in a Bosnian home, fresh little round fried breads are piled in a basket and set out with white cheese and yogurt.
