Proja - Corn Bread

This is a traditional Serbian bread. It is served with yogurt, white cheese and smoked dried meat. It is ideal for breakfast and supper on cold days. You can bake this when you have leftover cheese, almost ready to go bad.

Ingredients:
1 cup corn flour (yellow)
1 cup white flour (regular)
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
2 eggs
½ cup sunflower oil
50-100 gr white full fat cheese

Directions:
Heat the oven to 180°C.
Mix the flours together in a bowl. Add milk, slightly beaten eggs, oil and crumbled cheese. Add baking powder and add a pinch of salt if the cheese is mild. The paste needs to be liquidy like honey.
Put the baking dish in the oven to heat. Pull it out after 2 min and oil the dish. Pour the dough into the prepared dish and return immediately to the oven.
When you see the crust forming, reduce the heat to 150°C and bake for at least 30-45 min. The bread is ready when the sides of the bread have separated from the dish.
Serve warm.
