Hungarian Sajtos Pogácsa (Cheese Biscuits)

Instructions

1. Activate the yeast: Mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the dough: Combine flour and salt. Add butter, sour cream, egg, yeast mixture, and half of the grated cheese. Knead until a soft, smooth dough forms.
3. Let it rise: Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
4. Shape: Roll the dough out about ½ inch thick. Cut into small rounds or shape into traditional pogácsa. Place on a lined baking sheet.
5. Top: Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese and caraway seeds.
6. Bake: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 18–22 minutes, until golden brown.
