Instruction manual
1
To prepare the dough, take 2 packs of cottage cheese (approximately 400-500 grams), pass it through a meat grinder or rub through a sieve. In this case, the dough will be more tender and plastic, there will be no curd lumps in it. Add the soda previously quenched with citric acid, 4 tablespoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt to the curd. Beat 1 egg into the mass, pour 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, mix thoroughly. Add 50-70 ml of boiled water, add 1 cup of flour and grind the resulting mass. Pour the flour onto the work surface and knead the resulting paste with flour (another 1 cup) until a smooth, elastic dough is formed. It should not stick to hands. Otherwise, add more flour to it.

Another recipe for cottage cheese dough is good for open cakes. To prepare, wipe a pack of cottage cheese and half a pack of butter through a sieve or pass through a meat grinder. Bring the resulting mass to a homogeneous consistency. Beat 2 eggs into it, add a tablespoon of sugar, mix thoroughly. Since open cakes are usually prepared with savory fillings, they don’t add a lot of sugar to the dough. Now in the resulting mass you need to introduce a baking powder and two glasses of flour. You can knead the dough on the table. By consistency, it should be such that it can be rolled out with a rolling pin. Place the dough for half an hour in the refrigerator before making the pie.

For pies, too, there is a recipe for cottage cheese dough. Two packs of cottage cheese (choose sufficiently dry) mix with 5 tablespoons of sour cream, two eggs, 4 tablespoons of sugar. Add half a teaspoon of salt, soda, quenched with citric acid. In the resulting mixture, enter 2-3 cups of flour. The amount of this ingredient depends on the moisture content of the selected cottage cheese. Knead a thick dough. Put in the refrigerator for an hour and a half. This dough is very fragile, therefore, fashioning pies, sprinkle it with flour.
