Cheese and Cumin Buns

Servings: This recipe yields approximately two dozen servings.

Difficulty Level: Easy

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 200 grams of skim milk curd
• 80 grams of egg whites (equivalent to two egg whites)
• 45 grams of whole grain flour (I prefer corn flour, but you can use your favorite type)
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• Herbes de Provence and herb salt to taste

For the Filling:

• 100 milliliters of skim milk curd
• 200 grams of cumin cheese (10% fat)
• 80 grams of egg whites
• 40 grams of scallions, finely chopped
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, flour, baking powder, herb salt, and Herbes de Provence. Mix these ingredients with the skim milk curd until a moist dough forms.
2. Shape the Buns: Using damp hands, shape the dough into round, rimmed baskets and place them on a baking sheet.
3. Add the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the egg whites, crumbled cumin cheese, sliced scallions, and crushed cottage cheese. Spoon this mixture into the center of each dough basket.
4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the buns for approximately 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked.

Enjoy your freshly baked cumin cheese buns warm from the oven, perfect for a delicious and unique breakfast treat.
