Don’t be afraid to experiment; you can replace the curd in this recipe with yogurt and the orange peel with lemon or tangerine peel.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups + 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons of lukewarm milk
  • 1 and 1/2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 1 teaspoon of dry yeast
  • peel from half an orange
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For smearing

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp of milk
  • powdered sugar for sprinkling

Method:

  1. Put lukewarm milk and yeast in a bowl, stand for 5 minutes, and mix.
  2. Mix the sifted flour, salt, and orange peel in another bowl.
  3. Add eggs, cottage cheese, oil, sugar, and yeast to make a well in the center.
  4. Mix and knead thoroughly until the dough is smooth and compact.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball, place in a bowl, and cover with cling film and a tea towel.
  6. Let rise for approximately 2 hours or until doubled in size.
  7. Roll out the risen dough into a circle and cut it into 8 more or less equal triangles.
  8. Make a notch at the bottom of the triangle, gently pull the ends apart, and roll up.
  9. Put the cottage cheese rolls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and let them rise for another hour, covered with a tea towel.
  10. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the eggs and a tablespoon of milk until well combined.
  11. Preheat the oven to 356°F.
  12. Brush the rolls with egg before putting them in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Allow the cottage cheese rolls to cool slightly, and then sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
