Useful Pogácsa Information:
Pogácsa is a yeast biscuit, but it only needs chilling and resting times. It is not a good idea to reduce or to substitute ingredients. Never add sugar, it will feed the yeast. Those recipes that call for rising time produce doughy biscuits and are only good if eaten right out of the oven. If you fold the dough a few times, it will give you layers, but this is tricky. You have to be exact with the layers or the pogácsa will rise lopsided in the hot oven. For the same reason, be careful to spread only the tops with egg yolk. The foremost importance is uniformity, make sure the dough has an even thickness. Good pogácsa recipes have lots of butter or lard in them.
