Preparation Steps
1
Activate the yeast: In lukewarm milk, stir in the sugar and yeast, then let it stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, then rub in the butter until evenly distributed and the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3
Grate the goat cheese, and mix half of it into the flour mixture.
4
Add the sour cream, egg, and activated yeast, then knead the dough thoroughly until it comes together.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness, then fold it in thirds three times to create flaky layers.
6
Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the dough to rise slightly.
7
Roll out the dough again to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness, then use a pogácsa cutter or round cookie cutter to cut out the shapes.
8
Place the pogácsa on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the tops with beaten egg.
9
Sprinkle the tops with grated goat cheese, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
10
Let them cool slightly, then serve fresh, with a crispy exterior and a tender, crumbly interior.
