To prepare this delicious recipe, we will start with the dough preparation, an essential step that will determine the final texture of the dish. In a small bowl, we dissolve the yeast in a little warm milk, then add the sugar and salt to activate the yeast. It is important to use warm milk, not hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. Once the yeast has completely dissolved, we add the rest of the milk and mix well. Gradually, we begin to incorporate the flour, adding it little by little until we obtain a composition similar to thick sour cream. This stage is crucial, as a dough that is too dense will not rise properly.
After mixing the ingredients, we sprinkle a little flour on top and cover the bowl with a clean towel, leaving it in a warm place, away from drafts, for 20-30 minutes to rise. This is when the yeast will do its magic, and the dough will begin to rise.
Meanwhile, we take care of the filling. In another bowl, we will crumble the cottage cheese with a fork to achieve a fine texture. We add the sour cream and yogurt, mixing well to obtain a homogeneous composition. Then, we add the finely chopped herbs, which will bring extra freshness and flavor, and salt to taste. Don't forget to add the egg, which will bind the ingredients together, providing a rich taste to the filling.
Once the dough has risen, we turn it out onto a generously floured surface. We roll it out with a rolling pin, forming a thicker sheet that will support the filling. We evenly distribute the cottage cheese filling over the dough, making sure to cover the entire surface. Then, we carefully roll the dough into a tight log. To give the dish a special presentation, we can place it in a spiral shape in a round greased dish.
After placing the dough in the shape, we let it rise again for 30 minutes. During this time, we preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Once the dough has risen, we place it in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until it becomes golden on top and emits a tempting aroma. Once ready, we let the dish cool slightly, then slice it like a cake to reveal the spiral appearance. Enjoy this savory delicacy! Bon appétit!
