Description
Homemade pastries for tea. For "Manzari" buns, you'll need any fresh herbs—you can even add a clove of garlic if you like a bit of spice. I used parsley, but you can mix different herbs and create your own blend. Let's take a look. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
Instructions

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. The amount of flour may differ from mine due to varying cottage cheese moisture. I used very dry cottage cheese, so I needed 2 full heaping cups of flour.

Step 2
If the cottage cheese is dry, add two whole eggs to it; if it's wet, add only the egg yolks. Add salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly until there are no lumps.

Once the dough stops sticking to your hands, it can be considered ready. Divide it into portions (the number is up to you: the larger the pieces, the bigger the buns will be).

Step 5
Roll the pieces of dough into balls. Roll out each ball like a dumpling wrapper, but the thickness should be about 5-6 mm. Fill the dough with greens.
