Zapiekanka

December 14, 2011 by Lois Britton 4 Comments

Kebab zapiekanka with ketchup and garlic sauce

Zapiekanka comes from a Polish word which means to bake.  Zapiekanka can mean a casserole, but the more common use is  this popular street food – a bagette half, topped with cheese and other toppings, baked until crisp and then finished off with ketchup and or other sauces.

    […] If you spend much time at all in Polish cities, you’ll see folks walking around eating long skinny Zapiekanka Polish French Bread Pizza. They always look and smell terrific. Almost two years after my first visit to Poznan, curiosity got the better of me.
