The dough is rolled out thinly and then baked until golden brown. Pogacnik is often served as a side dish or a snack, and it can be enjoyed plain or with various toppings.

One of the most popular variations of pogacnik is the "pogacnik s sirnim namazom," which is a pogacnik topped with a spread of cheese. Other common toppings include ham, salami, or a mixture of cheese and vegetables. Pogacnik can also be filled with savory ingredients such as meat, cheese, or vegetables, creating a savory pie-like pastry.

In addition to its savory variations, pogacnik can also be sweetened with sugar, jam, or fruit preserves. This sweet version is often served as a dessert or a snack.
