Step 1
1. Thaw the dough and divide it into two parts. Roll out each part into a flat layer. Line the bottom of a baking dish with one layer. It should be larger in size to form the edges, and the edges should hang slightly over the sides of the dish. Prick the bottom layer with a fork to prevent the dough from rising in unwanted places. Set the remaining dough aside for now.

2. Next, prepare the cottage cheese filling. Mix the cottage cheese, half a cup of sugar, and one egg yolk. If the cottage cheese is coarse and you don't achieve a smooth consistency, add another egg. Spread the cottage cheese mixture over the dough.

3. Mix the currants with the remaining sugar, starch, and zest. Place over low heat (or microwave for two minutes). The berries should just begin to release a little juice, allowing the sugar and starch to start dissolving. Pour this mixture over the cottage cheese.

4. Place the remaining layer of dough on top. Seal the edges of the two layers to form a neat border. In the center, I cut out a heart shape with a knife. Brush with beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Done!
