Cooking method

• I love baking with cottage cheese very much. How many have tried - do not count. But this recipe is one of the most delicious, in my opinion. I bake two rolls at once.
• In the finished baked goods, the taste of cottage cheese is absolutely not felt. The dough tastes like shortbread. Very fragrant, crumbly.
• The roll looks festive. It can be served to guests.
• Try to cook. Lovers of shortcrust pastry should really like it.
• Cooking.
• Mixing preparation 1.
• - If the margarine (butter) is removed from the refrigerator in advance, then this mixture can be rubbed with a spoon.
• 
• - If you take it straight from the refrigerator, then use a blender or food processor for whipping.
• Oil (i use margarine) grind (or beat) with eggs and cottage cheese. Knead well.
• 
• 
• Preparing the mixture 2.
• 1. Mix baking powder with sifted flour.
• 2. Add sugar, salt, vanilla sugar, seasonings, lemon and orange zest.
• Connection of mixtures.
• 1. Combine mixtures 1 and 2.
• 2. Add rum (or liqueur), washed raisins and candied fruit.

• 1. After an hour, divide the dough into 2 equal parts.
• 2. Grease a baking sheet or place a non-stick mat.
• 3. Form 2 rolls directly on the baking sheet.
• 
• - Try to make them tall as they will expand wide during baking.
• - Press the raisins and candied fruits deeper so that they do not burn.
• 
• Baking.
• Bake in heated up to 170 degrees. oven for about 45 minutes.
• 
• Immediately after baking while still hot rolls grease with butter and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.

The dish is designed for

For 2 large rolls

Note

1. This recipe I took from the magazine "Smack" in the mid-90s. I have been baking for many years, changing almost nothing.

2. The recipe suggested using nuts (200 g). Never added. And without them it is very, very tasty!
The candied fruits I added give not only an elegant look to the cut, but also complement the already rich taste of the roll.

3. I noticed that the longer the roll lies, the tastier and more aromatic it becomes. All spices and additives begin to appear. For the experiment, this baking was kept for 5 days. Not stale, it became even tastier.

So you can start baking for the Christmas table today.

It is very tasty !!! And also, if candied fruits of our own production ...

It's like "New Year's adit in German". Shown in his program Alexander Seleznev. I did it several times. Very tasty stuff. :) It can be stored for a very long time and the longer, the tastier. Thanks for the recipe !!!

It is very tasty !!! And also, if candied fruits of our own production ...

Marina, however, VERY tasty! Favorite recipe !!!
I have not prepared candied fruits this year. We have to be content with the store.

It looks like "New Year's adit in German". Shown in his program Alexander Seleznev. I did it several times. Very tasty stuff. :) It can be stored for a very long time and the longer, the tastier. Thanks for the recipe !!!

Yasmin, to your health!
I didn't watch the program. But she herself realized that long-term storage is only good for the roll. This "discovery" was made quite recently. Previously, they ate in 1-2 days, there was simply nothing to store.

It looks like "New Year's adit in German"

I looked on the Internet for a recipe for that name. Indeed, very similar.
But my version has a lot of flavorings. Trust me, they radically change the taste.

I wanted to bake curd stollen from Karina this year, it does not require aging, I just can't bake it in advance, but now I read your recipe - I will definitely bake it, I really liked the finished roll and the recipe itself, thank you very much for sharing, I will definitely report what happened

[SanechkaA,]

SanechkaA, Thank you! It's nice that the recipe caught your attention. I really hope you enjoy the roll!
I would be glad if you share your impressions!

I will definitely share, but a little later

[Shelena]

Shelena Elena, I bring you a huge thank you, these are the "hogs" I got you were absolutely right, an hour ago I took the rolls out of the oven and now I am struggling with an irresistible desire to cut off at least a small piece, the smells in the apartment are amazing and I am very pleased that there are 2 rolls , I will hide one away for "ripening" for two weeks. and we'll eat one tomorrow and I liked the ease of making rolls, the photo is completely unsuccessful, but in order to beautifully try to photograph tomorrow, now I was in a hurry to boast of the result

[SanechkaA]

SanechkaA , thank you very much for such an emotional feedback! It's so nice that I liked the rolls already at the stage of preparation. I really hope that the taste will not disappoint either.
Now, I think you understand why I always divide the dough into 2 parts. (One roll can be put aside in a secluded place.) Although the original recipe suggested making one! You can't bite such a boar later! And the stash will definitely not work. Not our option.
And maybe leave a photo of little Sun? Well, such a wonderful taster!
And the photos of the rolls, it seems to me, are good! Plump pigs. Grew well. Smooth.
Thanks again for sharing! In a good mood I can now go to bed. Goodnight!

that's right - one roll is not our way tomorrow I will tell you how the people at home appreciated, tomorrow guests will come for tea

Very interesting. I'm waiting!

I apologize for delaying the answer with the taste of the roll - amazing: delicate, fragrant, juicy and melting in the mouth, it looks like a stollen, but only it looks like, I would say - the taste is much richer, I regret not adding ground almonds, but next time brandy poured 5 tbsp. l. and soaked candied fruits all night, in short - everyone appreciated, lovers of such baking and non-lovers will bake more and more and not only for the holidays, well, TAAAK VKUUUSNO thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe!

[Sanechka]

Sanechka, thank you very much for such a review. Straight with the scent! And with a beautiful photo of the cutter !!!
(To be honest, I thought I didn't like the roll.)
Therefore, it is especially pleasant to hear (even with a slight delay) that this is not so.
I read your such a delicious description and as if I ate a piece myself. I'll go bake tomorrow ...
I love this roll very much. Several years ago, the recipe notes were lost during the renovation - I was worried. I recently found it. I was happy as an old friend after a long separation!
I baked it again several times to remember all the subtleties of cooking. And shared here with everyone.
It's nice that it's not in vain ...

absolutely not in vain! more than one mistress has asked me for a recipe
wrote late - only by the weekend no one distracted her son now put her to bed and began to write answers

Great! Let them bake and enjoy cooking, aromas and taste.

Elena,

Sanechka, thanks!

[Elena]

Elena, baked and I roll. I can’t imagine a photo, temporarily without a camera, and the first experience was not very beautiful in terms of beauty: I didn’t get a roll, like you and Sanechka did. The dough was very thick, I was scared that I could not mix in the candied fruit and added cottage cheese. As a result, the roll did not keep its shape and in the oven it was very wide spread.
But nevertheless, I really liked the taste. Very tasty dough, I added some nuts, they are very appropriate here. Indeed, every day it only became tastier. I will definitely bake this wonderful curd roll, and then with a photo report Thank you!

[Galina]

Galina, thanks for the tip! The fact that there is no photo is not scary at all! The main thing is that you got it and liked the taste.
Try not to add cottage cheese above the norm next time - then the shape of the roll will remain. But the roll grows in any case more than you expect! In the photo "before" and "after" the difference is clearly visible. When forming, make the workpiece high (it will grow in width itself)
I am sure that the result of the second attempt will be exemplary.

Hello Elena, I looked at your recipes, I especially liked this roll. I will definitely try to cook it! I don't like raisins myself, but my husband just adores it. I will bake five days before his arrival, one for the children for tasting, and the second will wait for her husband, and gain the taste. Tell me, can I just buy candied fruits and raisins and add? Or they need to be soaked somehow. It's just that I recently became interested in baking.

[Yulia]

Yulia, good day!
I am very pleased that you liked this recipe. Thank you for your trust!
Since you don't like raisins, bake one roll without them. And to my husband - with raisins.

Tell me, can I just buy candied fruits and raisins and add? Or they need to be soaked somehow. It's just that I recently became interested in baking.

If the raisins are fresh, not dried out, then I just rinse them well in many waters, then dry them on a paper towel and add them to the dough (in some recipes, they are rolled in flour - this is usually specified in the description).
If the raisins are stale, then, after rinsing well, fill them with hot water and keep them until softened.
I wash candied fruits if I bought them by weight. From the package - I do not rinse. I grind large pieces.
I hope this information will help you.
Happy baking!

Thank you so much. How to bake I will share my impressions!

I would be glad to know your impressions.

Elena, please explain how you form the rolls!
Do I understand correctly that the dough must first be rolled out (then to what thickness?), And then rolled up as when forming a loaf? Or just make such a cylinder without rolling?
I want to do it right!

[Olga,]

Olga, I do not roll out or twist anything, but I form 2 "loaves" - a cylinder right on the baking sheet with my hands.

Shelena, hello! I baked this wonderful roll! it would seem that the ingredients are quite simple and constantly used in baking, but the taste is simply amazing and unusual! unfortunately, they did not follow your advice to stand them until they cool down. In the morning I found a half-cut bar: the family did their best. I took it to work, they demanded a prescription. I will print and distribute. So, a special thank you from your family and employees! Here is a photo of what was left in the morning:

[Shelena]

Shelena, do you think it is possible to increase the number of dried fruits while leaving all the other ingredients the same? Well, you can't spoil the butter from the series))

[Olesya,]

Olesya, I think it is possible to increase the amount of dried fruits. It is important that they are not too wet. Just roll it well in flour. But with nuts, if you want to add, then be careful: an overabundance of them usually makes the baked goods heavier, and the roll may not bake.
Happy shtollen!

Loya, what a pretty photo! And the fact that the people at home have eaten half of the bar clearly indicates that you have turned out delicious. I am very pleased that you and your colleagues liked the roll! Bake to your health!

I apologize - I have not seen your post before.

I fell in love with the recipe in advance, I want to do it now, but what is the best way to mix - in cotton or in a combine? I only have 200g of butter, so portion 1, so what kind of cotton is more suitable?

[Sashunesha]

Sashunesha, it's nice that the recipe hooked you. :) I hope the taste does not disappoint either.
I would use a combine for mixing out of 2 of your units. (Although before she was free to do without kitchen helpers at all - she just kneaded with her hands. It turned out great.)
Delicious baking!

Already done, it turned out - this is the amount for 2 rolls, and one has already been eaten. Very tasty, although I have no candied fruits. Thank you so much!

[Sashunesha]

Sashunesha, I'm glad that everything worked out for you! I highly recommend trying to bake with candied fruits as well. It will be even tastier.
From the norm given in the recipe, 2 rolls are obtained.
Thank you for using the recipe and sharing your impressions!
