Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine *350 grams (12.5 ounces)* of soft cottage cheese with *2 eggs* and *60 grams (2 ounces)* of powdered sugar. Blend the mixture for about a minute using a mixer until it becomes smooth.
Step 2
Spread the prepared cheese mixture evenly over *1 piece* of Armenian lavash flatbread. Make sure it's coated evenly from edge to edge. *Gently sprinkle* the *50 grams (1.5 ounces)* of thawed black currants on top.
Roll the lavash tightly into a roll, ensuring the filling stays inside.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to *180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)*. Brush the roll generously with *1 egg yolk* to give it a nice glaze. Place the roll on a baking sheet and let it bake for about *20 minutes*.
Once golden and set, remove it from the oven.
*Let it cool slightly* before serving. Enjoy your delightful homemade berry roll!
