Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the flour with baking soda in a bowl; set aside.
  2. 2 Mix the canola oil, butter, yogurt, eggs, sour cream, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients to form a soft dough. Knead and squeeze the dough in the bowl until it is no longer sticky, about 5 minutes. Stir the feta cheese, parsley, olive oil, and paprika together in a bowl with a fork to make a filling.
  3. 3 Make each dumpling by pinching off about 2 1/2 tablespoons of dough; roll into a ball about 1 3/4 inches across between your hands, and press it into a flat circle 3 inches across on your palm. Spoon 1 scant tablespoon of filling into the center of the circle. Bring the edges of the circle together over the filling, and pinch them together to make a fat, round little stuffed dumpling. Set the dumplings onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet, seam sides down. Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl, and brush the pogaca tops with the egg yolk. Sprinkle each with about 1/4 teaspoon of sesame seeds.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are shiny, brown, and crackled, 20 to 30 minutes.

  2. 2 Add 3 cups flour to a large bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup butter with 2 knives or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in sour cream mixture until dough comes together.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, about 10 minutes. Cut dough into 4 pieces; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or up to overnight.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. 5 Combine 2 1/2 cups sugar, 1 pound melted butter, and vanilla extract in a very large bowl; stir in 4 cups flour. Beat egg whites into filling mixture.
  6. 6 Roll 1 piece dough on a lightly floured work surface into an 8x12-inch rectangle. Crumble 1/4 filling mixture on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border on long sides. Cover filling with plastic wrap; flatten with a rolling pin. Roll dough into a tight roll, starting with one of the long sides.
  7. 7 Cut roll into 2-inch pieces at a slight angle. Arrange pieces on a rimmed baking sheet. Push tops down gently to flatten slightly. Repeat with remaining 3 dough pieces and filling.
  8. 8 Whisk egg yolks and yogurt together; brush over dough pieces.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool before serving, about 15 minutes.

  1. 1 Mix together the flour, sour cream and butter or margarine in a large mixing bowl.
  2. 2 Flour a pastry board and your hands. Make dough into small balls or roll them into 2 inch squares. Add a small amount of pastry filling, any flavor you like. Fold dough diagonally and press together. If you make balls, press a small rim around the outside so the filling does not seep out.
  3. 3 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 minutes and sprinkle on confectioners' sugar. A wonderful gift any time of the year.
