Zapiekanka

Zapiekanka

This is probably the most common type of typically Polish fast food. Zapiekanka is bread baked with typically mushrooms and cheese. We feel like making some from time to time and I do recommend that you try.

To chyba najpowszechniejszy polski fast-food. Polecam jeśli nie masz co zrobić z bułkami.

For the last week I’ve been working on a longer post about sourdough. We’ve just come back from holidays, the sourdough was too sour to bake anything with it. We turn ourselves to the generosity of a Tesco nearby. Have a quick run, grab one baguette, run back home. Today we’ll share a quick cheat food that will make everyone happy. I Hope I will come back to you with some interesting topic next Monday.

Planning

None, preparation takes about 30 minutes including warming up the oven.

Ingredients

Today I will not provide quantities. It’s not that important as you can use as much of anything that you want.

  • rolls (baguettes will be the best). We got a big baguette and it was enough to feed our family. You can also use regular bread. Whatever you like

  • mushroom and some butter

  • mozzarella cheese – we buy a bag of grated cheese in Lidl

  • smoked sausage or whatever ingredients you like – smoked cheese, Camembert, ham, tomatoes – they will all be fine, you can also use others

    Fried mushroom

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven. High temperatures are desired as the roll will not get dry and food will be ready quickly. We’ve set ours to 200 C degrees with a fan. Know your oven

  2. Chop the mushrooms and place them on a frying pan with a bit of butter. They should soften and get shiny

  3. Cut the roll in half

  4. Place the mushroom on a roll, then other ingredients if you plan any

  5. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese and pop into the oven

  6. Bake for 5-10 minutes, so that the cheese melts and the roll becomes crispy

Eat while still warm! I recommend serving with ketchup.
