If you don't have a bread machine, you can knead the dough by hand in a large bowl. 2. Kneading: If kneading by hand, mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon at first, then continue with your hands until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Make sure it is not sticky; if necessary, add a little flour. 3. Resting the dough: Let the dough rise in a warm place, covered with a damp towel, for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in volume. Preparing the filling: 4. The star of the filling: In a bowl, mash the cottage cheese with a fork. Add salt, the egg, and the egg white, then incorporate the semolina. Mix well with a whisk to obtain a homogeneous composition. 5. Delicious additives: Cut the mold cheese into small cubes, keeping a few pieces for decoration. Chop the green onions and crush the walnuts with your hands, so that they remain small pieces. Add the onions and walnuts to the cheese mixture, leaving some of each ingredient for decoration. Assembling the tart: 6. The perfect shape: Once the dough has risen, roll it out with a rolling pin on a floured surface, giving it a round shape. Grease a tart pan with oil and flour, then place the dough in the pan, making sure it fits well. 7.
