Cottage cheese rolls with apricots are a true embodiment of the cozy warmth of Russian cuisine. Their delicate dough made from cottage cheese and flaxseed flour creates an airy yet nutritious texture, while the sweetness of ripe apricots adds juicy fruity notes. Historically, cottage cheese products held a special place in Russian gastronomy, symbolizing care and good mood. These rolls are perfect for a morning breakfast or a cozy tea time, especially with a cup of fragrant tea. A light hint of cinnamon and nuts can add even more depth to the flavor, making them an ideal dessert for those watching their diet. They are quick to prepare and delight with their gentle aroma, creating an atmosphere of home warmth.
1
Soak the semolina in milk for 30-40 minutes to swell, then add baking soda. Mix the cottage cheese well with a sweetener to avoid lumps. Add the yolk and the soaked semolina.
- Semolina: 3 tablespoons
- Milk: 50 ml
- Soda: pinch
- Cottage cheese: 160 g
- Sugar substitute: to taste
- Chicken egg: 1 piece

Whip the egg whites separately until frothy, then gently fold them into the batter. The batter is quite runny, so we start adding flour — flaxseed flour. Unlike other types of flour, it is not only healthy but also contains more protein than carbohydrates. Thus, its benefits are clear.
- Chicken egg: 1 piece
- Flaxseed flour: 2 g

You can add cinnamon and crushed nuts to the dough. I didn't do this, but after trying the ready buns, I realized it would have been a great idea!

On the greased parchment, place half of the dough (4 rolls) spaced apart, as they will rise. On each roll, place half an apricot and cover it with the remaining half of the dough. You should end up with 4 balls.
- Olive oil: 3 ml
- Apricots: 2 pieces
