Step 1
1. Working with the dough is quite simple. In a deep bowl, combine and rub together softened butter and sugar. Add salt, baking powder, and cottage cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes uniform in consistency. Gradually add flour, mixing until the dough no longer sticks to your hands. Note that the dough should not be too dense, otherwise the cottage cheese rolls made at home won't turn out light and airy.
