Cottage cheese croissants with sugar are a delicate and aromatic pastry that comes from the depths of Russian culinary tradition. Their soft, slightly crumbly dough made from cottage cheese and butter offers a pleasant tang that pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of sugar. The croissants are shaped into miniature rolls, and the caramelized sugar crust gives them a crispy texture. They are especially good warm when the dough is tender and melts in your mouth but retain their freshness the next day. These croissants are perfect for morning coffee or evening tea, creating a cozy atmosphere of home warmth. The simple preparation process makes them accessible even to novice cooks, while the taste is memorable like a piece of traditional Russian hospitality.

Then divide the dough in half and roll out a circle about 30 cm in diameter. Cut the circle into triangles and form croissants. Dip each croissant in sugar on top and place them on a baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the second half of the dough and make croissants as well. You will get exactly one standard-sized baking sheet of croissants.
