Russian Creamcheese Vatrushka Buns Preparation:

Add dry yeast, powdered sugar and 1 full xq flour to warm milk and mix. Cover and ferment in a warm place for 15-20 minutes.

Melt the butter and pour it into a bowl, add the egg at room temperature to the warm oil and mix. Add the frothy yeast mixture and mix. Add salt and vanilla, sift the flour and add in portions. Knead a soft, non-stick dough, cover and leave in a warm place to ferment for 1.5 - 2 hours. The dough should come out in two layers. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, roll them out and place them on the baking sheet, keeping a distance between them. Cover and simmer again for 15-20 minutes.

Put the cottage cheese in a bowl for the filling, add powdered sugar and eggs and mix with a hand blender. It is necessary to crush the curd because it is sour.
Add raisins, which are like smooth cream, and mix with a spoon.

In order to make a hole in the middle of the logs, we lubricate the bottom of the house with a small amount of light oil and dip it in the middle of the dough. It is recommended to grease the bottom of the cup for each dough. You can also adjust it manually,
I used a small pear cup.

After preparing all the dough in the same form, distribute 1 xq of cottage cheese filling to each of them. Finally, carefully pull the egg yolk to the edges of the loaf. (Try not to hit the curd part of the egg) Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until golden brown.
