Easter cottage cheese recipe

Ingredient List:

• Cottage cheese (any fat content) - 350 g;
• Milk - 200 ml;
• Butter - 120 g;
• Chicken egg - 2 pcs.;
• Sugar - 130 g;
• Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. spoon;
• Wheat flour - 1 kg;
• Yeast (fast-acting dry) - 10 g;
• Vanillin - 10 g;
• Candied fruits - 100 g.

For glaze:

• Granulated sugar: 130 g;
• One egg white;
• 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.

Dough preparation sequence:

1. Take the cottage cheese. If the product is coarse, then it must be grated through a sieve or broken with a blender into a tender, soft mass.

2. Pour warm milk into an empty bowl. Pour in two tablespoons of sugar.

3. Send yeast and 2 tablespoons of flour to the liquid mixture. Mix everything well. Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel. Leave it warm for 10-15 minutes.

4. Break eggs into a separate bowl, add sugar and beat with a mixer. You should get a light mass.

5. Add butter and cottage cheese to the egg mixture. Beat everything well for 5 minutes.

6. Add vanillin while whisking. The result should be a delicate, creamy mass.

7. Transfer the creamy mass to the dough bowl. Stir everything well. Pour vegetable oil into a homogeneous mixture. Mix everything again.

8. Gradually introduce flour into the dough. In the process of adding flour, you need to add candied fruits. In order to prevent candied fruits from falling down in future cakes, you should mix them with flour even before adding them to the dough.

9. As a result of a long kneading, a dense dough should be obtained. Cover the bowl with the curd dough with a towel, let it rest for about 3-4 hours. It is important to remember that curd dough is quite heavy to rise, therefore, under not very favorable temperature conditions, it can increase in size much longer than the stated time.

10. The risen dough must be kneaded with your hands. Divide it into molds. Let it brew for an hour. Be sure to cover the top with a towel or napkin.

11. Bake curd cakes in the oven for 40 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees.
