The work of a baker has long been valued above all other artisan professions, because in order to knead good dough, from which you can make a lot of different products, including bread, of course, you need to have great physical health, excellent sense of smell, diligence and many, many more, including well-developed sense of timing. However, in Russia, all women, young and old, knew how to cook various flour delicacies from dough kneaded with their own hands, and the whole family, and especially its female half, was connected at once to cooking, for example, pies. In families with a large number of small children, a place of honor has always been given to sweet open pies with various centers. Of these, of course, cheesecakes with cottage cheese or cheese, as it was then called, stood out.
The most revered food product among the Slavic peoples, of course, was cottage cheese. In the diet, he occupied a leading position compared to the rest of the food. However, as you know, cottage cheese was not subject to long-term storage, this moment was taken into account by home cooks and tried with all their might to apply it somewhere. Flour was also in abundance, however, it was stored many times better. It turns out that flour and cottage cheese are in abundance, and as a result - pies with cottage cheese. Apparently, this is how open cheesecakes with cottage cheese appeared. Among the Slavs, the word vatra (from which the cheesecake originated) meant nothing more than βfireβ or βhearthβ. But, really, if you look at a rosy cheesecake, having a little fantasy, it resembles the sun, especially a large, idle, royal cheesecake with cottage cheese, which managed to saturate all the kids at once. Modern housewives often choose recipes where the finished pastries are small in size - this is more convenient. We offer you to plunge into Russian cuisine and cook convenient sweet cheesecakes that will certainly appeal not only to your children, if any, of course, but also to all other family members. Sweet cheesecakes with cottage cheese - a recipe for cooking.
for the test:
for curd filling:
Additional components (for lubrication):
For the dough, put the yeast in a bowl.
Dissolve the yeast in warm water.
Now add warm but not hot milk.
Sift the flour through a sieve.
Pour part of the sifted flour into the dough blank.
Let the dough stand for a while and ferment until bubbles appear.
Add the egg yolk.
Now the dough must be salted and pour sugar into it.
Then add the rest of the flour and vegetable oil so that the dough is not too thin.
Knead the dough by hand and let it rise for about 1 hour.
As soon as the dough has risen a little, it should be kneaded and let it rise again.
While the dough rises for the second time, let's deal with the filling.
Add egg white to cottage cheese.
Add sugar.
Mix everything thoroughly.
We introduce flour into the filling.
Lastly, add vanilla sugar to the curd.
Place part of the dough on a floured table.
Two types of blanks can be made for cheesecakes - choose the one that you like best.
Cut the dough into small pieces and roll them into balls.
This is our number one option.
In the second version, we squeeze out circles from a single piece of dough, as in the photo.
Lubricate the baking sheet with vegetable oil, lay out the finished koloboks on it and let them come up.
With the help of improvised means, we make a small depression in the cheesecake.
That's all - the place for the stuffing is ready.
Now gently grease the buns with the egg yolk prepared in advance.
We fill each cheesecake with curd filling.
We bake buns at a temperature of 200 degrees for about 30 minutes.
As soon as the cheesecakes acquire a characteristic golden hue, we take them out and grease them with melted butter.
By the way, in ready-made cheesecakes, you can pour oil over the filling - so the pies will be juicier.
The preparation of this dish can be carried out not only on yeast dough. Puff pastry with cottage cheese can cause appetite even for those who usually refuse baking due to various diets, and the royal puff pastry is able to outshine any idle pie.
We would like to note that any tasty dish causes satiety and a lot of positive emotions in a hungry person - this is the biggest useful plus. In the old days in Russia, cheesecakes with cottage cheese, washed down with milk, had breakfast - and this rather modest meal was enough until the evening. The conclusion is this: cheesecakes with cottage cheese saturate the body with carbohydrates - this is a fact. Cottage cheese, as a source of calcium, is certainly useful too, but there is an opinion that it is not absorbed together with cereals, forming insoluble compounds. However, some part still enters the body, and it is definitely useful.
In conclusion, I would like to say that if there were no benefits in baking at all, as some nutritionists are trying to convey to us through the media, would our grandparents, who ate cheesecakes with cottage cheese instead of sweets, live so long.Β Our cheesecake with cottage cheese in the oven, although it differs slightly in taste from those primordially Russian open pies with cheese, but this does not stop it from being called Russian cheesecake, which has long won popular love. If you are still reading this recipe, it means that cheesecake with cottage cheese has conquered you too. Prepare a dish and be delighted!
