1. 1

   Lay the pork belly flat on a cutting board, fat side down. Lightly score the surface of the meat in a crisscross pattern.

   💡 Proffstips: Scoring helps the seasoning penetrate deeper.
2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, crushed caraway seeds, salt, black pepper, and Bukovo pepper (if using).

3. 3

   Rub the spice mixture generously over the pork belly, working it into the scored surface and edges.

   💡 Proffstips: Ensure an even coating of the seasoning.
4. 4

   Distribute the pitted prunes evenly across the entire surface of the seasoned pork belly.

5. 5

   Starting from one end, tightly roll the pork belly into a firm log. Tie the roll at 2-3 cm (1 inch) intervals with kitchen twine.

   💡 Proffstips: A tight roll ensures a stable shape during roasting. Use sturdy twine.
6. 6

   Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the pork roll seam side down in a roasting tray and drizzle with oil.

7. 7

   Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked and slightly browned.

   💡 Proffstips: Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
