Buns with cottage cheese filling from yeast dough are a classic dessert known to many since childhood. Such buns were baked in most bakeries. They always turn out soft, flavorful, with a slight sourness of cottage cheese.
To prepare the perfect yeast dough, it is the yeast that is of great importance. It is important to buy fresh yeast. They should not have a musty alcoholic odor. Expired yeast is the main reason for the dough not rising. It
is also important that all ingredients are at room temperature. Before cooking 30 minutes, or better yet, an hour, get the milk and eggs out of the refrigerator. In cold foods, such as milk, yeast is not activated.
Don’t neglect sugar in baked goods. Yeast likes to feed on sugar so it works better in the dough. Let’s prepare tasty buns on yeast dough with cottage cheese filling.
