Adyghe cheese pastries
Description
This simple recipe for Adyghe cheese buns will appeal to anyone who enjoys exploring various types of homemade baked goods but still struggles with making different kinds of dough. For example, I find it very difficult to work with yeast dough and puff pastry, so I simply buy ready-made dough sheets from the store and use them to make my baked goods. You should give it a try too.

Step 1
1. Thaw the dough, roll it out thinly, and cut into small squares (approximately 10 by 10 cm). Mix the chopped spinach and onion (if using) until uniform, then add sour cream and salt (to taste). Separate the yolk from the egg white. Add the egg white to the filling. Do not discard the yolk—we'll use it to brush the pastries for a golden crust.

2. Place the filling in the center of the dough squares. Fold the squares diagonally and seal the corners. The two remaining corners are then wrapped around the resulting triangle and also sealed together, forming a shape similar to dumplings. Now take a yolk, add a little water (1 tablespoon), and beat well. Brush the future buns with this mixture.

3. Place the prepared buns onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (you can lightly grease the paper with oil). It is advisable to prick each bun a couple of times with a toothpick before baking. Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Ready!
