Baked Vertuta
Description
This traditional Moldovan dish is a roll made from stretched dough with a filling inside. As I mentioned, the filling can consist of absolutely any ingredients you like, such as cheese, meat, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, and so on. But since I have a sweet tooth, I'll tell you about...

Now take one pastry layer, brush it with melted butter, and cover it with the second layer. On the second layer, spread the filling made from a mixture of cottage cheese, egg, raisins, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla sugar.

Step 5
Brush the surface with beaten egg and place the vertuta in a preheated oven at 180 degrees. Bake for 35-40 minutes. That's it—transfer the hot, aromatic vertuta onto a serving plate, cut into pieces, and enjoy.
