Here's how to prepare them step by step for an unforgettable culinary experience. Preparation time: 1 hour Baking time: 30 minutes Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes Number of servings: 16 pies Ingredients For the dough: - 2 kg white flour - 1 sachet dry yeast (or 40 g fresh yeast) - 1 teaspoon salt - 2 tablespoons sugar - ½ cup oil (or lard) - About 1 liter lukewarm milk - 2 eggs - 100 g raisins (optional) For the filling: - 1,5 kg cottage cheese (preferably well drained) - 300 g sugar - Grated zest of 1 lemon - 1 egg - 3-4 tablespoons rum or vanilla essence (according to taste) Instructions Step 1: Prepare the dough 1. Activating the yeast: In a large bowl, add the flour and make a dent in the center. Place the dry yeast and add a teaspoon of sugar and a cup of lu lukewarm milk. Cover with a little flour and let everything rise for 15 minutes. This will activate the yeast, ensuring the dough will be fluffy. 2. Kneading the dough: Once the yeast has risen, add the beaten eggs, oil, salt and gradually add the lukewarm milk. Knead until you have a soft dough. It is important not to add too much milk all at once; the dough should be slightly elastic and not stick to your hands. 3. Rising the dough: Cover the bowl with a clean towel or cling film and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, until doubled in volume. Step 2: Prepare the filling 1. Mixing the ingredients: In a separate bowl, add the cottage cheese, sugar, lemon zest, egg and rum or vanilla essence. Mix well until smooth. If you prefer a saltier taste, you can omit the sugar and add the salted cheese and finely chopped dill. Step 3: Making the pies 1. Divide the dough: Once the dough has risen, divide it into 4 equal parts. On a floured work surface, roll out each side into a thin sheet. 2. Cut and fill: Cut the sheet into squares of desired size. Place a tablespoon of cheese filling in the center of each square. Fold the edges together to form a triangle or packet, making sure they are tightly packed. 3. Raising the pies: Place the formed pies on an oiled tray and leave to rise for a further 10 minutes. Step 4: Baking the pies 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Beat an egg and brush the pies with it. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame if you like. 2. Baking: Bake the pies for 25-30 minutes or until golden and nicely browned. Step 5: Final syrup 1. Make the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon oil. Boil for a few minutes, then brush the syrup over the pies as soon as you take them out of the oven. Serving and suggestions Cheese pies can be served warm or at room temperature. They are delicious with a flavored tea or freshly brewed coffee. Serve with a green salad or yogurt sauce for a refreshing contrast. Variations and tricks - Vary the filling: Instead of cottage cheese, you can use feta or ricotta cheese, mixed with blanched spinach for a savory variation. - Add fruit: For a sweet touch, add raisins or pieces of dried fruit to the cheese filling. - Flavoring: Instead of rum essence, experiment with almond essence or cinnamon for a unique taste. Nutritional benefits Cheesecakes are a good source of protein thanks to the cheese and the oil adds healthy fats. White flour provides needed carbohydrates for energy, but you can opt for wholemeal flour for extra fiber. Frequently asked questions - Can I use cheese made from goat's milk? Yes, goat cheese adds a distinct flavor and can be an excellent substitute. - How can I store the pies? They can be refrigerated in airtight containers for 2-3 days or you can freeze them to eat later. - Can they be made gluten-free? Using gluten-free flour, you can adapt the recipe for those with intolerances. I hope this recipe will inspire you to try making delicious Poale'n Brâu cheesecakes. Cooking is an art, and every recipe is an opportunity to bring joy and flavor to your table!
