Zapiekanka | polish STREET FOOD made VEGAN 🌱

Zapiekanka is one of the most popular street foods in Poland, also known as Polish pizza. So simple to make, yet so delicious!

The origin of the Zapiekanka dates back to the 1970s in the years of the Soviet Union. However, the dish actually started gaining popularity years later during a period of austerity in Poland. Its name is derived from the Polish verb zapiekać, which means “to bake”.

Often called Polish pizza, Zapiekanka comes in the form of a baked open-face sandwich that can be up to 50 cm long. Nowadays there are many varieties, but classic Zapiekanka, is still the most popular one.

Varieties include "diablo" with bacon, pickled cucumbers, and spicy sauce; "Gypsy" with ham and sweet and sour sauce; "Greek" with olives and feta cheese; and "Hawaiian" with pineapple and barbecue sauce. Home-made versions also exist, such as the "student's Zapiekanka", made from bread, cheese, and whatever else is at hand at the moment.

My Zapiekanka is the classic one, made vegan and gluten-free and I hope you like it as much as I do!
