8 steps
  1. 01

    Stir the active dry yeast and white sugar into the lukewarm whole milk and let it stand until foamy.

  2. 02

    Mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the sour cream, unsalted butter, egg, and yeast mixture, then knead until smooth.

  3. 03

    Cover and let the dough rise until doubled.

  4. 04

    Roll the dough into a rectangle, spread the pork cracklings over it, and fold it in thirds.

  5. 05

    Turn, roll, and fold the dough twice more, resting it briefly between folds to build even layers.

  6. 06

    Roll the dough thickly and cut out rounds. Place them on a lined baking tray and let them rise until slightly puffy.

  7. 07

    Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the caraway seeds.

  8. 08

    Bake at 200°C (400°F) until well risen and golden brown.
