Ingredients
Components | Proportions |
cottage cheese | 300 g |
granulated sugar | 120 g |
egg | 2 pcs. |
salt | 10 g |
Wheat flour | 500 g |
dry yeast | 11 g |
vegetable oil | 40-50 ml |
milk | 250 ml |
Step cooking
Make dough
- We measure out 250 ml of milk and slightly warm it on a small fire until warm. Sift 500 g flour into a deep dish through a fine sieve.
- In the center of the flour mixture we make a large depression, after which we pour 11 g of dry yeast into it.
- We send 20 g of granulated sugar there and pour 50 ml of previously warmed milk.
- Mix milk, yeast and sugar with a teaspoon. We cover the bowl with the components with a kitchen towel and leave the dough in this form for 10-15 minutes.
- After this time, pour 200 ml of warm milk over the sponge.
- Add 5 g of salt and 40 ml of vegetable oil there.
- We thoroughly alter the ingredients with a wooden spoon until the dough is gathered into one lump.
- We continue the further kneading on the table, having previously lubricated its surface and hands with vegetable oil. In total, it will take about 5-7 minutes to knead. The dough should turn out soft, elastic and not stick to your hands.
- We shift the dough into a deep container, then cover with cling film and send to a warm place for at least half an hour. As a result, the dough should increase by two, or even three times.
Prepare the filling
- In a deep container, spread 300 g of cottage cheese. If desired, the cottage cheese can be wiped through a fine sieve, then the filling will turn out more tender and juicy.
- Add 100 g of granulated sugar, 5 g of salt and one chicken egg there.
- All ingredients are thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous consistency is obtained. We try the filling for sweetness, and if necessary, add more. Some chefs add vanilla sugar or vanillin, which gives the curd filling a special pleasant aroma.
We form products
- Lubricate the surface of the table, as well as hands with vegetable oil. We spread the approached dough on a greased surface, after which we tear off small pieces of dough from it, from which we form balls. The diameter of the ball should be from 3 to 5 cm.
- We cover the balls from the dough with a kitchen towel and leave them to "rest and come up" for about 30 minutes.
- In each piece of dough we make a small depression.
- We fill all the holes made with curd filling.
- Gently fasten the edges of the pies.
The final stage
- We cover the baking sheet with baking paper, on top of which we spread the formed products, observing a small distance between them. Pies must be placed with the seam down. Let the pies "come up" for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, separate the protein from the yolk. We don’t need protein anymore. Beat the chicken yolk slightly with an ordinary fork, after which we generously grease the approached pies with it.
- We heat the oven to a temperature of 180-190 ° C. We send the blanks to the preheated oven and bake the products for 20-30 minutes.
- We allow the finished baking to cool slightly, after which we shift it into a beautiful dish, and serve it on the table.
