Ingredients

  • 250 g cottage cheese ideally Polish-style twaróg
  • 100 g cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large spring onions finely chopped
  • 30 g fresh dill chopped
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 120 g Whole grain flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 170°C and line the baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cheddar, egg, chopped onions, dill, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add flour. Start with 100 g of whole grain flour and mix well. If the dough is too wet to handle, add more flour, up to 20 g, until you get a soft, but shapeable dough.
  • Shape the buns. Form the dough into 8 buns by hand. You can also shape it into a log and slice into portions for a more uniform look.
  • Place buns on the prepared tray and bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
  • Cool slightly before serving.
