pekládají

Pekláda is a traditional Slovak dish that is a type of baked pastry. It is typically made with a simple dough, often enriched with eggs and butter, which is then filled with various ingredients. Common fillings include sweet options like fruit, such as apples or plums, or savory mixtures like cheese or cabbage.

The dough is usually rolled out and then either folded over the filling to create a turnover-like shape or layered with the filling in between. Once assembled, the pekláda is baked until golden brown and the filling is cooked through. The preparation methods can vary regionally within Slovakia, leading to slight differences in texture and flavor.

Pekláda is often served as a dessert or a snack, and its comforting nature makes it a popular choice for family gatherings or casual meals. It can be enjoyed on its own or sometimes served with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of cream, depending on the filling. The name "pekláda" itself likely derives from the Slovak word "piecť," meaning "to bake."
