"Slovak / Ukrainian pagach (puh-GAHTCH) is traditionally served at meatless meals as for Advent, Lent and the beautiful Christmas Eve supper known as velija. It is a flat bread with a potato or cabbage filling and makes an excellent vegetarian entree. This recipe comes from Charlotte Pribish Conjelko of Indiana who is a Orthodox Christian Carpatho-Rusyn. View this larger image of pagach and this image gallery of a Slovak Christmas Eve Velija. This recipe can be doubled to make two loaves (but then remember to double the fillings). Makes 1 large loaf or 12 servings of Slovak Pagach..."
