Ingredients
Ingredients scaled to 9 servings
- 60 g sugar
- 5 g dry yeast
- 250 ml warm milk
- 1 chicken egg
- 1 egg white
- 5 g vanilla powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 40 ml vegetable oil
- 550 g flour
- 400 g cottage cheese
- 60 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla powder
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Preparation
- Step 1Combine sugar, dry yeast, and warm milk. Mix everything well.
- Step 2Add the chicken egg, egg white, vanilla powder, and salt. Mix.
- Step 3Add the vegetable oil (total 40 ml) and mix well.
- Step 4Sift the flour. Knead the dough with a spatula, adding flour in batches. Add the remaining vegetable oil and continue kneading with the spatula.
- Step 5Dust the surface with flour. Place the dough on the surface, knead with your hands, and form into a ball. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film, and leave in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Step 6After 1 hour when the dough has risen, dust the counter with flour. Place the dough on the counter, divide into 9 pieces, and form each into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a kitchen towel.
- Step 7Combine cottage cheese, sugar, vanilla powder, egg white, and cornstarch. Stir well to make the filling.
- Step 8Dust the counter with flour. Take one dough ball and roll it out with a rolling pin to a diameter of 30 cm. Make two slits in the dough, place 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese filling in the center, fold the dough, and pinch the edges together.
- Step 9Divide the remaining dough into strips. Roll each strip, place the dough rope decoratively on the bun, and repeat shaping with the remaining dough balls. Place the finished buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 10Cover the buns with a kitchen towel and leave in a warm place for 10 minutes.
- Step 11Whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the buns with the egg yolk and milk mixture.
- Step 12Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C using top and bottom heat for 25-30 minutes until golden.
