Buns with cheese and flax seeds - A delicious and healthy recipe for the whole family Preparation time: 15 minutes Rising time: 2 hours (total) Baking time: 35 minutes Number of servings: 13 buns In a world full of quick and conventional options, fresh buns with cheese and flax seeds are a healthy and delicious choice. These buns are not only easy to prepare, but they also bring a touch of authenticity and flavor to every meal. Flax seeds, known for their nutritional benefits, add a pleasant texture and subtle taste that perfectly complements the cottage cheese. A brief history of buns with cheese Buns have a long history, consumed in various forms and recipes over time. They symbolize comfort and tradition, often served at family meals or special events. Adding cottage cheese and flax seeds transforms them into a modern choice, rich in nutrients, that honors tradition at the same time. Necessary ingredients - 150 g cottage cheese (ideally well-drained to avoid excess moisture) - 200-250 ml water (it is important to use warm water to activate the yeast) - 25 g flax seeds (whole flax seeds are recommended for a more pronounced flavor) - 1 tablespoon oil (preferably olive oil for added flavor) - 250 g white flour (for a soft texture) - 250 g whole wheat flour (for increased nutritional value) - 10 g dry yeast (ensures even rising) - 1 teaspoon sugar (helps activate the yeast) - salt to taste (a pinch of salt will enhance the flavors) Step by step to success 1. Draining the cheese Start by draining the cottage cheese in a sieve or a piece of cheesecloth. This will remove excess water and prevent the dough from becoming too wet. 2. Preparing the flax seeds Boil 50 ml of water. Once the water starts to boil, turn off the heat and add the flax seeds. Let them swell for 10-15 minutes. This step will not only improve the digestibility of the seeds but also add a pleasant texture to the buns. 3. Activating the yeast In a small bowl, mix the dry yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, and 100 ml of warm water. Let the mixture rise for 10-15 minutes until a foam forms on top. 4. Preparing the dough Sift the white and whole wheat flour into a large bowl. In the center of the flour, add the yeast mixture, and on the edges, place the salt, oil, drained cottage cheese, and flax seeds. Carefully knead the dough, gradually adding the remaining water until you obtain a smooth and slightly sticky dough. 5. Rising the dough Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it sit in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the dough doubles in volume. This step is essential for fluffy and airy buns. 6. Shaping the buns After the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and turn out the dough. Shape a roll from the dough, which you cut into pieces of about 80 g. Each piece can be shaped into a ball and placed on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. 7. Second rising Let the buns rise again for about 1 hour, covering them with a damp towel to prevent drying. 8. Baking Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the buns for 35 minutes or until golden and with a crispy crust. A trick to check if they are baked is to gently tap the bottom; if they make a hollow sound, they are ready! 9. Cooling After baking, let the buns cool on a wire rack. This step is important to maintain the crispy crust. Useful tips - Freezing the buns: The buns can be frozen fresh but cold. This way, they retain their taste and texture. You can store them in an airtight container and, once frozen, do not refreeze them. - Flavor variation: You can add fresh herbs, such as dill or oregano, to the dough for added flavor. - Serving: These buns are delicious both warm and cold. You can serve them with butter, cheese, or even stuffed with fresh vegetables and grilled meat for a hearty sandwich. Frequently asked questions - Can I use another type of flour? Yes, you can experiment with rye or oat flour, but you may need to adjust the amount of water. - How can I tell if the yeast is active? If the yeast forms a foam on top of the mixture with water and sugar, it means it is active and ready to use. - What are the nutritional benefits of flax seeds? Flax seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants, contributing to a healthy diet. Conclusion Buns with cheese and flax seeds are an excellent choice for any meal, from breakfast to dinner. With a fluffy texture and savory flavor, they are not only delicious but also full of nutrients. Invest a little time in preparing these buns, and you will be rewarded with a healthy and satisfying snack. Don’t forget to share them with your loved ones, as food cooked with love always brings more joy!
