Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use half butter and half lard (traditional in Hungary).
• You can mix in a little paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.
• Pogácsa dough can also be refrigerated for a few hours before baking; just roll and cut when ready.

If you want, I can also give you a quick 10-minute version using pre-shredded cheese and no chilling time. It’s super fast and still fluffy. Do you want me to do that?
