Authentic Recipe of Popara. My Grandmother’s Traditional Serbian Cooked Bread and Cheese.

If you have old bread lying around and you don’t have much time on your hand, this traditional Serbian recipe for Popara is perfect for you.


Things to know about Popara Recipe

Popara is a dish made out of old bread, water, and cheese. Sounds like an unusual combination, but it is surprisingly tasty. Popara was a dish for poor people back in the old days because everyone had the ingredients necessary to make it.

That’s why bringing it out in front of your guests was a shame. Now it is almost forgotten. Only the elders know how to make it. The name comes from pouring boiling water over the bread.

Popara is a great dish for busy people because you can always toast the bread that you have, doesn’t matter how old it is (It shouldn’t be moldy, of course!), cook it in water, and add cheese.

Cooking tip for making Popara

  • If you change the ingredient’s measurements, make sure that the ratio between the bread and the water is 1:2.
  • If the bread absorbs all the water, just pour some more over it so there is more water than the bread.
