SOFT AND CHEWY BALKAN BREAD
Pogaca (Bosnian/Croatian) or pogacha is a type of bread baked in the ashes of the fireplace, and later on in the oven. This bread is found in the cuisines of the Balkans and Turkey. So I searched high and low for a great bread to bake for my homemade panini. I tried maybe a dozen bread recipes over the years just to get it right. I needed a bread that was light and airy that you could press using a panini press and wouldn't get too hard to chew or too thick to eat.

Steps:
- Mix milk and water in a pot over low heat. Heat, stirring constantly, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pot reads 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Remove from heat. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Pour mixture into a cup or other cylindrical glass; sprinkle yeast on top. Let mixture rest until yeast is frothy and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
- Stir flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Pour in yeast mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Turn dough out on a floured work surface and knead quickly for 5 minutes. Shape dough into a ball. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add dough; toss around the bowl a few times to coat evenly with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Return dough back to the work surface and punch down. Coat your hands with a little olive oil and knead again for 1 minute. Divide into 5 balls. Flatten the balls out into thick rectangles. Place the rectangles of dough onto a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with a thin coat of olive oil. Let rest for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) while the dough rests.
- Bake bread in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Switch to the broil setting until the top of the rolls turn golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove from the baking sheet and allow to cool completely. Cut rolls in half lengthwise.

Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it well until it is smooth and elastic.
- The dough should be sticky, but not too sticky. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it is too dry, add a little more milk.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
- Grate the cheese finely so that it melts evenly throughout the bread.
- Be careful not to over-bake the bread. It should be golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
