I really love thin-crust dumplings; I prefer them to fluffy dumplings made with kefir. And if you are a lover like me, then you will love the recipe. Moreover, complex components are not used here.
In our markets they are already selling fragrant green garlic, so we are preparing dumplings with cottage cheese and green garlic. Take the amount to your liking, and if you have a large family, feel free to double the ingredients.
To prepare dumplings with cottage cheese and green garlic, prepare all products according to the list of ingredients. You can replace water with milk if you prefer.
Ингредиенты
Dough:
Flour - 330 g
Water - 160 ml
Salt - 0.5 tsp.
Egg - 1 pc. (55 g)
Filling:
Cottage cheese - 300 g
Egg - 1 pc.
Green garlic - 2 pcs.
Salt, pepper - to taste
Рецепт
1. First prepare the dough. Sift the flour, add salt, water and egg. Mix everything well with a spoon and knead into a medium-thick dough. You may need a little more flour as it varies. The higher the quality of the flour, the easier the dough is to knead, it does not flow and does not stick to your hands. While kneading, you can lightly dust the table with flour.
2. The finished dough is very docile, it does not stick to your hands and does not need flour. Don’t be lazy to knead it on the table for about 10 minutes, this will only make the dough better. Then cover it with a towel and leave it to proof while you prepare the filling.
3. Take dry cottage cheese, but not overdried, from natural milk, not powder. Combine it with the egg, add salt and pepper to taste. I added another pinch of khmeli-suneli.
4. Finely chop the garlic and add to the filling. Mix well and taste to see if you like it. The cottage cheese, of course, will become softer, but it should not spread. If the cottage cheese suddenly becomes completely liquid, then all questions should be addressed to the manufacturer.
5. Divide the dough into two parts to make it easier to work with. Keep one part under a towel, and the second can be dealt with in two scenarios:
- For me, it’s easier to make a thin sausage (2 cm in diameter) and cut it into equal pieces, 1 cm thick. There is no waste at all in this method and all the dough goes straight to use.
--- You can roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a thin layer and cut out circles. Re-roll the remaining dough after cutting out the circles... Whichever is more convenient for you.
6. Flatten these pieces of dough in flour, I do this in one motion. And then quickly roll into thin cakes. Just a couple of pressures with a rolling pin - and there is no waste at all.
7. Place cottage cheese with garlic in the center of the flatbread and form dumplings, carefully sealing the edges. The dumplings are medium in size and their dough is thin and translucent. Place the pieces on a board sprinkled with flour so that they do not stick together. Boil water with salt and place the dumplings in boiling water one at a time. Immediately stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
8. Cook dumplings with cottage cheese and green garlic for two minutes after surfacing. While still hot, brush with butter directly on the plate. Dumplings can be served with sour cream and herbs. Very tasty, I recommend it!
