Polanetsi --Rolls with Cottage Cheese, Dill and Green Onion Filling

Ingredients

• •Filling:
• •1 pound dry curd cottage cheese
• •1/2 cup chopped onions
• •1 tablespoon oil
• •1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh dill weed
• •3/4 to 1 cup finely chopped green onion tops
• •2 eggs, beaten
• •1/4 cup cream
• •1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. 1Drain cottage cheese, pressing out all liquid. Press cheese curds with a fork to smooth out the lumps. Saute onions in oil. Add onions, dill weed, and green onions to the cottage cheese. Combine with eggs and cream. Add salt to your taste.
2. 2Make enough white bread dough for two loaves. When it has risen the first time, form into balls the size of golf balls. Place these on a towel on the table and let them rise again. When they have risen, roll them out, one at a time, forming a long oval (about 6 inches by 3 inches). Cut small slits into the ends of the dough, like so: (| |). Put one heaping tablespoon of filling into the center of the dough. Turn the ends in toward the center, pulling one cut through the other, and making sure that a hole is left exposed in the center so the filling is visible. Let rise on your baking pan, being sure to give enough space so they aren’t crowded. Brush with egg and water mixture before baking.
3. 3Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, until golden.
