Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the dough: Make a starter from the yeast, a little milk and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it rise in a warm place. Then put the flour, salt, sugar, vanilla sugar, melted Hera, eggs, lukewarm milk and the starter into a bowl. Knead into a smooth, elastic dough and let it rise for about 45 minutes, until it has doubled in volume.
  • Preparing the filling: Mix the cottage cheese with sugar and vanilla sugar. To taste you can also add raisins, ground nuts or a bit of lemon zest.
  • Shaping the pockets: Roll the risen dough into a sheet about 1 cm thick. Cut it into squares, place a little cottage cheese filling in the center of each and bring the opposite corners together.
  • Baking: Transfer the pockets to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, brush with the beaten yolk and bake in an oven preheated to 200 °C for about 20–25 minutes, until they turn golden.
