These were awful. Definitely NOT rich. The dough looked beautiful and was very elastic and easy to roll but I noticed it didn’t have any sugar at all. I thought it would still taste good with the filling, but it was dry and tasteless. Recipe also doesn’t say how thick to place the filling and isn’t really thick enough to compensate for the totally sugarless yeast dough. Also, very impractical to include an ingredient – pressed cottage cheese – that is not readily available in 48 states (if NY and NJ sells a Cholov Yisroel brand). You could make your own dry or pressed cottage cheese by rinsing & straining out the liquid to leave only the curds. But why bother when there are thousands of better recipes calling for practical ingredients.

Pressed cottage cheese? I’ve never heard of pressed cottage cheese. What does that mean?

Hi- pressed cottage cheese is pressed dry cottage cheese (aka dry-curd cottage cheese) is a soft, crumbly unripened cheese with white, dry curds. It is made from skim milk that is curdled with an acid or rennet. it can be found in most local supermarkets.
