Yeah, it is exactly that – cottage cheese minus the liquid whey. One thing you can try is to grab some cheese cloths, wrap cottage cheese in them, and squeeze out the liquid. It’s messy though.

I live in Southern California and cannot find the farmers cheese. My mother used to call it dried cottage cheese.

My Grandma and Great Aunt made a dish called Pagach. It seemed to have the same dough as yours, but the cheese was mixed with potato (like in Pierogi) Do you have a recipe for Pagach? Thanks for all the work you do to keep Slovak Cooking going. I appreciate the recipes very much!

We also called this Slovak pizza. I have been trying to find the right consistancy of the cheese and now because of this recipe I have found it. My grandmother also made this with lekvar spread on top and she would also sprinkle poppy seed on it. I can pronounce the Slovak word for it but I don’t know how to spell it. I’ll try it phonetically in English…Bale (like a bale of hay) e (e like in enter) sh (the closest I come come is like the sound of sh when you are telling someone to shhh – be quiet or softer).I make it for my family; however, all of us can’t eat the poppy seed so I just spread plain lekvar (prune butter)on the dough. What a treat! Have even spread apricot on top. My grandchildren love this so now there is another generation loving this recipe.
