Ingredients: 500 g plain flour (special or regular plain); 100 g semi-coarse flour; 250 g sour cream (1 tub); 75 ml lukewarm milk; 21 g fresh yeast (½ cube); 250 g soft butter; 2 teaspoons salt; 1 teaspoon sugar; ½ packet baking powder; 1 egg for brushing; grated cheese (Edam, Gouda, Cheddar); seeds to taste (sesame, poppy seed, caraway, sunflower)

Prepare a yeast starter from the lukewarm milk, sugar and yeast. Leave it in a warm place to rise until foam forms on the surface.

Into a large bowl, sift in the plain and semi-coarse flour, add the salt, baking powder, sour cream and soft butter. Pour in the yeast starter.

Work into a smooth, non-sticky dough. If necessary, lightly dust with flour.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise for about 20 minutes.

Turn the risen dough out onto the work surface, roll it into a sheet, fold it and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. Repeat this process once more – the pagáče will be fluffier and lightly layered.

Roll the dough again to a thickness of approximately 1.5 cm and cut out rounds or squares.

Transfer the pagáče to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with cheese or seeds.

Let rise for another 10–15 minutes.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C for approximately 18–20 minutes, until nicely golden.
