Poale-n brâu pies: a delicious recipe for pastries filled with cottage cheese that will delight your taste buds and bring a touch of nostalgia in every bite. These pastries are perfect for serving both at breakfast and as a dessert, with a rustic and tasty appearance. Here’s how you can prepare them at home, step by step. Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 50 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes Number of servings: 16 pastries Ingredients For the dough: - 500 g flour - 1 packet of dry yeast - 150 g sugar - 2 eggs - 250 ml milk - 80 g butter - 50 ml oil - Zest of one lemon - A pinch of salt For the filling: - 400 g cottage cheese (ideally well-drained) - 2 tablespoons sour cream - 2 eggs - 100 g sugar - 2 packets of vanilla sugar - 50 g raisins (preferably soaked in rum) - Rum essence - Lemon zest - 2 tablespoons semolina (if the cheese is too soft) - A pinch of salt For brushing: - 1 egg Step by step to perfection Step 1: Preparing the dough 1. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, add the dry yeast along with 4-5 tablespoons of warm milk. Let it activate for 15-20 minutes until it becomes frothy. 2. Heating the milk: In a saucepan, heat the remaining milk (250 ml) along with the sugar and salt, being careful not to boil it. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat. 3. Combining the ingredients: Beat the eggs in a bowl, then add them to the cooled milk. Also add the lemon zest for extra flavor. 4. Melting the butter: In a small pan, melt the butter and oil just until melted, then let them cool slightly. 5. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, sift the flour and make a well in the center. Pour in the milk and egg mixture, the activated yeast, and half of the melted butter and oil. Knead the dough until it is homogeneous, then turn it out onto a floured work surface and continue kneading for 15-20 minutes. Gradually add the remaining oil until you obtain a smooth and non-sticky dough. 6. Rising the dough: Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume, about one hour. Step 2: Preparing the filling 1. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the well-drained cottage cheese with the sour cream, beaten eggs, sugar, semolina, a pinch of salt, and the rum-soaked raisins. Add the rum essence and lemon zest for an intense flavor. Mix everything well until homogeneous. Step 3: Shaping the pastries 1. Shaping the dough: Once the dough has risen, transfer it to the work surface and knead it gently. Roll out a square sheet about 1 cm thick, then cut it into 16 squares. 2. Filling the pastries: On each square, place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture. Fold each square into an envelope shape, gathering the edges towards the center. Place the pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between them. Step 4: Baking the pastries 1. Second rising: Brush the pastries with the beaten egg and let them rise for another 20 minutes. 2. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the pastries for 45-50 minutes until they are golden and browned. The cheese filling will blend perfectly with the fluffy dough, creating an unforgettable culinary experience. Serving suggestions These Poale-n brâu pastries are delicious warm, but can also be enjoyed cold. I recommend serving them with a dollop of sour cream or a vanilla sauce for added flavor. A cup of tea or coffee will perfectly complement this breakfast or dessert! Personal note To customize the recipe, you can experiment with different fillings, adding chocolate or seasonal fruits. Also, by replacing the cottage cheese with goat cheese, you will achieve a more intense flavor and a unique texture. Nutritional information One serving of Poale-n brâu pastries contains approximately 200-250 calories, depending on the ingredients used. These pastries are rich in protein due to the cheese and eggs, providing a good source of energy and nutrients. Frequently asked questions - Can I use other types of cheese? Yes, you can experiment with telemea or ricotta cheese, but make sure they are well-drained to avoid a wet dough. - How can I store the pastries? They keep well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven before serving. - Can I freeze the pastries? Absolutely! You can freeze the pastries before baking. Make sure they are well wrapped to avoid freezer burn. Enjoy every bite of these Poale-n brâu pastries and cherish the moments spent in the kitchen!
