'''[[Template:Chráněných Zeměpisných Označeni|CZO]] Valašský frgál '''is a Czech cake with a diameter of 30-32 cm. Also known colloquially as ‘vdolek’, ‘pecák’ or ‘lopaťák’, it is made from a fine [[yeast]]-based [[dough]] and has a topping. After baking, the colour of the cake is golden, whereas that of the topping is characteristic of the topping used, with a light-coloured crumble on the surface, which may be sprinkled with gingerbread crumbs or ground [[cinnamon]], or drizzled with [[butter]] and sprinkled with [[sugar]]. The types of topping used are [[pear]], [[curd]] [[cheese]], [[poppy seed]], [[jam]] (povidla), [[fruit]] ([[plum]], [[apple]], [[bilberry]], [[apricot]]), [[walnut]], [[cabbage]] (fresh [[cabbage]] or [[sauerkraut]]), [[carrot]] and [[kohlrabi]]. The topping accounts for about 42-48 % of the whole product.

The cake is placed on a circular paper base and most commonly packaged in a heat-shrinkable wrapper or another kind of food-grade wrapper used on the market. It may also be packaged in a carton, a plastic or wooden box or a greaseproof-paper wrapping. Types of packaging: whole cakes: 600-700 g; halves 300-350 g; quarters: 150-175 g. The cakes may be sold unpackaged on the premises where they are made. ‘Valašský frgál’ may also be marketed frozen. The freezing process does not alter the product’s properties. It is placed in the freezer already packaged. The frozen product may be stored at a temperature of – 18 °C or less for nine months. It is recommended that it be consumed within 24 hours after being defrosted.

'''Raw materials:'''

The following raw materials are used to make the [[dough]]: semi-coarse [[wheat]] [[flour]] or a blend of three types of [[flour]] (fine-ground, semi-coarse and coarse), beet [[sugar]] or sweetener, [[vegetable]] [[fats]] or [[vegetable]] [[oil]] or [[lard]] or [[butter]], pasteurised or fresh [[egg yolks]], [[milk]] powder or fresh [[milk]] or drinking water, [[fruit]] juices ([[lemon]], [[apple]], [[pear]]), bakers’ [[yeast]] and [[salt]]; nowadays, it is permitted to add an improver to the [[dough]] in order to keep the product fresh. The main ingredient is [[flour]]; the proportions of the other ingredients by weight of [[dough]] must be as follows: [[fat]] ([[vegetable]] [[fat]] or [[oil]] or [[lard]] or [[butter]]) — at least 20 %; [[sugar]] or sweetener (fructose) — at least 10 % (if another sweetener is used, the amount will depend on its sweetness); [[egg yolks]] — at least 5 %. The amount of [[fruit]] juice, [[yeast]], [[salt]] and other flavour-imparting raw materials depends on the recipe used by individual producers. The topping must account for about 42-48 % of the total weight of a ‘Valašský frgál’ before baking.

'''Concise definition of the geographical area:'''

Valašsko, which is a geographical region in the south-east of the Czech Republic.

'''Link with the geographical area:'''

In the past, drying was the most traditional method used by the inhabitants of Valašsko to preserve [[fruit]]. For the rest of the year, the dried [[fruit]] was put to a wide variety of culinary uses. The most typical example of this was the use of dried [[pears]] to make [[pear]] [[jam]] (povidla). The use of a single kind of spread — or topping — on a ‘frgál’ is also typical for Valašsko. This is a tradition; as historical sources also state, there is never more than one type of topping on a ‘frgál’.

‘Valašský frgál’ differs from other cakes in particular owing to the following characteristics: — the method of making the [[dough]] and its composition: the runnier ingredients are first whisked together until they form a smooth paste. The [[fats]], which have been softened, are then added and everything is again whisked together to obtain a smooth paste. Only then is the leavening agent added, and after that the [[flour]] is added gradually to form a smooth [[dough]] which must be mixed until bubbles form (it contains plenty of air) and must not stick.

— the rolling of the [[dough]] into a round shape using a one-hand rolling pin that also originates in Valašsko. The even rolling-out of the [[dough]] from the centre to the edges means that, although thin, it is dense, soft and fine-textured when [[baked]],

— the use of typical toppings, especially those made from dried [[fruit]] ([[pears]]),

— a ‘Valašský frgál’ only ever has one kind of topping on it (toppings are never combined). The topping accounts for a high proportion of the cake: about 42-48 % by weight before baking. The surface of the topping is sprinkled generously with crumble and may be sprinkled with gingerbread crumbs or ground [[cinnamon]]. After baking, it may be sprinkled with [[sugar]] and drizzled with [[butter]].
