Cottage cheese casserole in a bread maker
Description
To make a delicious casserole, you need to buy good cottage cheese — moderately moist, fresh, and preferably homemade. Everything else is just details! So here's a simple recipe for cottage cheese casserole in a bread machine — perfect for those who prefer not to fuss too much. Take the butter out of the fridge in advance or soften it slightly in the microwave so it becomes soft. Pour hot milk over the semolina and let it soak for about half an hour. Pour boiling water over the raisins for a couple of minutes, then drain them in a colander and dry. If the cottage cheese is grainy, it's better to pass it through a sieve — this will make the casserole more tender and smooth. Beat the eggs with a mixer or whisk. You could separate the yolks from the whites and beat them individually, but we don't like to complicate things, right? Especially since I personally haven't noticed any significant difference. Put all the ingredients into the bread machine container. Turn on the bread machine to the regular kneading cycle for non-yeast dough, then activate baking in the "Cake," "Dessert," or another suitable mode. Baking time is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. After the sound signal, try to let the casserole rest in the bread machine for at least 15 minutes. Try very hard! You can sprinkle the casserole with powdered sugar and/or serve it with fresh sour cream, jam, or honey. Or just eat it plain — which happens most often. The main thing is that we made an effort.
