Servings: persons

1/2 cup whole milk, heated to 110 degrees F to 115 degrees F
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
5 ounces gruyere cheese, finely shredded
1 tablespoon salt
2 eggs
¼ tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (1 3/4 American sticks)
1/2 cup sour cream
Topping
1 egg yolk
2 ounces gruyere cheese, finely shredded

1
In a large bowl, combine milk, yeast and sugar and let stand until yeast is softened, about 10 minutes.
2
Add flour, cheese, salt, eggs, butter, and sour cream to the yeast mixture. Using an electric mixer, mix on low speed until dough comes together. Beat on medium speed 1 to 2 minutes. The dough should be smooth and not sticky.
3
Roll dough 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Make a shallow cross-hatched pattern with the point of a sharp knife over the top of the dough and brush with egg yolk. Sprinkle cheese on top, and cut out rounds with a 1 to 1 1/2 inch cutter.
4
Arrange circles in rows on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1/4 inch apart. Put pan in a cold oven and set temperature to 400 degrees F. Bake about 25 minutes, until pogacsa are nicely browned on their tops and bottoms. Let cool completely and store airtight.
5
Pogacsa may also be frozen up to 1 month. Thaw and reheat at 225 degrees F for 20 minutes.
