Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make sour cream curls with cottage cheese and raisins? First, prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Take the highest grade flour. The butter should be at room temperature, so remove it from the refrigerator in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Stir 1 tsp in 50 ml of warm milk. sugar and 1 tbsp. l. flour.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add dry yeast. I don’t mix them, but simply scatter them over the surface. You need fast-acting yeast, the kind that needs to be activated with warm liquid.

4. STEP 4

   

   Leave in a warm place until a fluffy cap appears. This takes 10-20 minutes. If the cap still does not appear, it means the yeast is spoiled and the dough will not rise with it.

5. STEP 5

   

   Sift 350 g of flour into a bowl, add salt and remaining sugar and mix.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add soft butter and sour cream.

7. STEP 7

   

   Rub the dough into crumbs with your hands.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the remaining warm milk and yeast mixture into the resulting crumbs.

9. STEP 9

   

   Knead a soft pliable dough, gradually adding the remaining flour (130 g). It may take more or less flour, so add a little at a time. First of all, look at the consistency of the dough. It shouldn't turn out too tight. If it is tight, it means the flour has been shifted.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll the dough into a ball and leave it warm under a towel for 1 hour to rise. Then knead and leave again for 30 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. It is better to take thicker cottage cheese, not dry and not very lumpy. If you have cottage cheese with small hard specks, it is better to mash it with a blender or rub it through a sieve.

12. STEP 12

    

    Grind the cottage cheese with the egg, sugar and vanilla until smooth. If the mass turns out to be fluid and very wet, add 1-2 tbsp. l. flour.

13. STEP 13

    

    Finally, add raisins (dark or light) and stir.

14. STEP 14

    

    Roll out the dough on a floured table into a rectangle 0.5-1 cm thick.

15. STEP 15

    

    Spread the curd filling over the entire dough in an even layer.

16. STEP 16

    

    Roll the dough into a roll and cut into pieces 3-3.5 cm thick.

17. STEP 17

    

    Place the resulting curls, cut side up, into a parchment-lined baking dish or baking sheet, spaced apart, and leave to proof for 25 minutes.

18. STEP 18

    

    To grease the surface of the buns you will need one small egg.

19. STEP 19

    

    You need to beat it with a fork until smooth.

20. STEP 20

    

    Before baking, brush the buns with beaten egg using a brush. Bake the curls in an oven preheated to 180°C for 25-30 minutes until the dough is golden brown.

21. STEP 21

    

    While the buns are baking, prepare the filling.

22. STEP 22

    

    Mix sour cream with sugar until the crystals are completely dissolved.

23. STEP 23

    

    Grease the top of the hot curls with sour cream and sugar. Cool slightly and you can serve. Bon appetit!
