Variations

🌱 Want to make this recipe gluten-free or vegan? Here are some tips:

Gluten-Free Version: Swap out the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure your baking powder is also gluten-free. Your dough might be a bit stickier, so keep extra flour handy for dusting.

Vegan Version: Substitute the cottage cheese with a vegan ricotta or tofu blend, and use almond or soy milk in place of regular milk. Ensure your sugar is also vegan-friendly.

Faq

Why is my dough sticky?
Your dough might be sticky if it hasn't rested enough. Let it rest for 10 minutes, and flour your working surface well.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! Ricotta or cream cheese can also work well in this recipe.
How can I prevent the filling from leaking?
Make sure to seal the edges of the dough well and avoid overfilling.
Can I freeze these pastries?
Absolutely! Freeze them on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a sealed bag. Reheat in the oven for the best results.
How do I make the dough even softer?
Adding a touch more oil or milk can soften the dough, but be careful not to overdo it or it will become too sticky.
Can I add fruit to the filling?
Of course! Small pieces of dried fruit like raisins or chopped apricots work beautifully in the filling.
