About Kruh bijeli

Kruh Bijeli, translating to 'white bread' in Croatian, is a staple bread commonly found in Croatian and Balkan cuisines. Made from refined wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, this bread has a soft texture with a light crust. It is often served alongside savory dishes like stews, soups, or used to make sandwiches. While white bread provides carbohydrates as its primary macronutrient source (approximately 49 grams per 100 grams), it is lower in dietary fiber and micronutrients due to the refinement process. It often contains added salt, making sodium content another notable factor in its nutritional profile.
