Ingredients

  • 150 g lard
  • 150 g flour
  • 20 g yeast (0.5 cube)
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp Sour cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp wine
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp caraway
  • yolk for brushing
  • flour for surface

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Warm the milk to lukewarm, crumble in the yeast and dissolve it. Finely chop the grieben with a sharp knife. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the grieben, egg, salt, wine and yeast‑milk mixture and knead everything into a medium‑firm yeast dough. Mix the yolk with a few drops of water for brushing and dot the surface of the dough balls with it. Then cut crosswise into the surface with a sharp knife and bake the pogatschen in a preheated oven at 210 °C for about 15–20 minutes until golden brown.

    Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead vigorously by hand, then roll out several times and fold again. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm, draft‑free place for about 30 minutes. Then roll it to a height of about 2–3 cm on a floured surface, cut small dough balls with a ring cutter (4 cm diameter), set them on a parchment paper‑lined baking sheet and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 210 °C.
