Duchmak with cottage cheese is an excellent pastry that can be safely prepared for tea or some other drink. The dough in this recipe is made with yeast, but due to this, the pastries are soft, airy and very tasty. When choosing cottage cheese, it is better to buy one that has a high fat content, ideally homemade. You can, if you want to add dried apricots or some other dried fruits to the cottage cheese.
It is better to serve duchmak to the table after it has cooled down a bit. By the way, even those kids who do not eat pure cottage cheese will eat such pastries with great pleasure. Baking can be made larger or, conversely, smaller in size. The dough itself is best kneaded with milk, but if suddenly it is not possible to purchase it for some reason, then use water.
Ingredients:
- Milk – 1 tbsp.
- Sugar – 4 tbsp. l. (2 tablespoons in the dough).
- Butter – 20 g.
- Flour – 2.5-3 tbsp.
- Egg – 2 pcs.
- Yeast – 0.5 tsp

How to cook:
1. Pour milk into a large bowl, which must be heated until warm. Immediately add butter to it, which is melted in the microwave.
2. Pour in the sugar.
3. Stir. You can do this procedure with both a whisk and a stationary mixer.
4. Beat in 1 chicken egg.
5. Pour in the flour. It must be of the highest quality.
6. Knead the dough with your hands. Now cover the top of the bowl with a regular plastic bag or cover it with cling film.
