Name: Faux crackling pagáče – fluffy savory pastry with great flavor
Prep time: 100 min
Cook time: 100 min
Total time: 100 min
Yield: 12
Ingredients: 400 g plain flour; 400 g medium-ground flour; 450 ml milk; 100 g Greek yogurt or sour cream; 2 tbsp powdered sugar; 2 tbsp oil; 1 tbsp salt; 25 g fresh yeast; 1 egg yolk; 1 tbsp vinegar (20 %); 200 g lard; 200 g crushed walnuts; 1 egg; salt to taste

Preparation procedure

Using the listed ingredients, work a semi-soft dough and let it rise for 45 minutes in a warm place. Meanwhile prepare the filling – mix the softened lard with the crushed walnuts. You can salt the filling later when spreading it over the dough.
Roll the risen dough into a larger sheet and evenly spread the prepared nut filling. Fold the dough like classic pagáče, adding filling between the layers where needed to achieve pronounced lamination. Let the folded dough rest briefly, only while the oven is preheating to 190 °C.
Then roll the dough to a thickness of approximately 2 cm and cut out pagáče with a glass or a cutter. Transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with the beaten egg, and place immediately in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden.

Total preparation time: approx. 1 hour 40 minutes (preparation + rising + baking)

Number of servings: approx. 25 pieces

Conclusion

Faux crackling pagáče are an ideal choice if you want a very tasty, quick and impressive savory pastry that laminates beautifully and is soft inside while slightly crispy on the surface. This recipe is suitable for any occasion and works great as a version without real cracklings. Pagáče are also a great idea as party snacks or a quick homemade savory specialty.
