Pogačice (diminutive of pogača) is a type of puff pastry. Pogača, Poğaça or Pogacha (Cyrillic: Πогача) is a type of pastry eaten inBosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Republic of Macedonia, Serbia (in Serbia, traditional in Belgrade bakeries),Montenegro, Hungary, Greece (where its called Bogatsa Μπογατσα) and Turkey (where it is called poğaça) with variations. It is calledpogatschen in Austria. Pogača is sometimes served hot as an appetizer instead of bread. Hot pogača filled with sour cream (or fetacheese in Turkey and Bulgaria) is considered a particularly delicious specialty.
You can vary this Poğaça stuffing with your other favorite filling, such as cheese, sausage or even minced meat or chicken (sometimes I fill it with chicken mushrooms too). It's great menu for your kid's lunch box. Or just carry out for brunch or tea break in husband's office.
Ingredients A:
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup warm milk

3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Ingredients B:
3 cups flour (few spoon more if necessary)
1 teaspoon salt

Method:
1) Mix all ingredients A and mix well as a starter. Cover with towel and let stand in warm place until fluffy (I need ± 20 minutes)
2) Mix all ingredients B (except warm water). Mix in the starter (ingredients A) and knead until smooth. If necessary add warm water little by little while knead the dough until smooth and not sticky at your hand (or you can use your electric kneading mixer). Cover with plastic wrap or towel and rest the dough in warm place until doubles (I need ± 45 minutes)
