Ingredients

  • 60 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 15 g Water
  • 5 g Vegetable oil
  • 120 g Cottage cheese
  • 15 g Sugar

Method

  1. Mix the flour with the egg, water and oil to a smooth, elastic dough; knead for 5 minutes, cover, and rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Mix the cottage cheese with the sugar, sour cream and breadcrumbs to make a thick, spreadable filling.
  3. Roll the dough out into a large thin rectangle on a floured cloth, spread the cheese filling evenly over it, and roll up tightly from one long edge like a jelly roll, sealing the ends.
