Lazy vatrushka with cottage cheese
Description
When choosing cottage cheese for the pie, prefer a less moist, less sour product. When spreading the filling on the dough, start from the center and gradually work toward the edges of the vatrushka. That way the pie will turn out evenly shaped, resembling a vatrushka. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
