Place all the ingredients, except the olive oil into a large mixing bowl and mix together with your hands until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and it forms a soft dough.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 200℃ (180℃ fan)/400°F/gas mark 6.
Turn the dough out onto a lighlty floured work surface and roll out until about 2cm (¾in) thick. Brush the top with a little olive oil then score a diamond pattern on the surface with a dinner knife.
Use a 5cm (4in) round biscuit cutter cut out the Pogácsa and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Re-roll the trimmings until you have used all the dough.
Bake in the centre of the oven for about 25 minutes until risen and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool

Cook's Tip:

The butter can be added in one large block, so long as it is soft, otherwise it will not mix in evenly.

If you use unsalted butter add a pinch of salt to the recipe.
