Traditional cottage cheese swirls made from yeasted dough with raisins. Clear ingredients, step-by-step instructions, times and number of servings. Tender dough, rich cottage cheese filling and the scent of home.

Tender, fragrant and fluffy – cottage cheese swirls are a classic that won’t last long at the table. This dough is rich in butter, milk and a little honey, so it rises well and stays moist after baking. Inside awaits a generous cottage cheese filling with raisins. The recipe is straightforward; you can manage it even on a busy weekend.

Preparation procedure

  • Starter (10 min) In a bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, sugar and flour. Let it foam in a warm place for 8–10 minutes.
  • Dough (10 min) In a large bowl put the eggs, sugar, vanilla, melted butter, oil and honey. Pour in the starter, add the salt and about ¾ of the flour. Mix (dough hooks/wooden spoon), adding the flour in portions – work into a smooth, soft, non-sticky dough.
  • First rising (60–75 min) Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
  • Filling (5 min) Beat the cottage cheese with the eggs and egg white, sugar, vanilla, butter and raisins into a smooth, spreadable mixture.
  • Shaping (20 min) Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface, divide into 2 pieces. Roll each into a rectangle about 35×45 cm. Spread the cottage cheese filling evenly, roll up from the long side into a roulade and cut into swirls 3–4 cm wide. Transfer them to baking sheets lined with parchment paper (leave space between pieces).
  • Second rising (20–30 min) Loosely cover the swirls and let them rise a bit more. Brush with egg mixed with milk.
  • Baking (25–30 min) Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (top/bottom heat) for 25–30 minutes until golden. Optionally rotate the sheet halfway for even coloring.

Total preparation time

  • Starter and mixing: 20 min

  • Rising: 80–105 min

  • Shaping: 20 min

  • Baking: 25–30 min

  • Total: approx. 2 h 30–2 h 55 min

Number of servings

24–30 swirls (depending on slice width and size)

Conclusion

Cottage cheese swirls are exactly the homemade pastry that smells of butter and vanilla and disappears straight from the tray. The dough is tender thanks to the butter and honey, the filling is juicy and the raisins add a sweet accent. Try soaking some of the raisins in rum or lightly dusting the swirls with powdered sugar after they cool – and you have bakery-quality at home.
