Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and position the rack to the top position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender and pulse or blend on high until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a medium bowl and add the flour. Mix until completely combined and the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  4. Transfer the dough to a generously floured work surface and knead the dough 8-10 times, until smooth. Add more flour to the work surface as needed until the dough is no longer sticky.
  5. Roll the dough into a ball and divide it into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball out into a 6-7-inch rope, about 1-inch thick. Join the ends to make a circle and pinch the seam tightly to seal.
  6. Brush the tops with a beaten egg and top with your seasoning of choice.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
