Ingredients

  • Sweet bread dough (regular or Russian).
  • Filling:
  • 1 lb/500 g cottage cheese,
  • 4 oz/100 g raisins,
  • 3-4 eggs,
  • 1 tablespoon butter,
  • sugar to taste,
  • a little grated lemon peel,
  • salt

Directions

1

Mix the ingredients for filling to obtain a homogenuous paste.

2

Roll a pencil thick sheet out of the sweet bread dough. Place in a baking pan.

3

From another piece of dough form a long, finger thick roll and arrange it around the sheet, sticking to the walls of the pan.

4

Place the filling within, without covering the roll on the edges.

5

Make two more such dough rolls and place them over the filling in an X shape.

6

After the cake has risen a bit in a warm place, use a little egg wash over the dough rolls.

7

Set in the oven to bake. Remove from the pan when it is cold.
