Ingredients

Method

  1. Make the dough: In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and butter until crumbly. Add egg and milk, then knead until smooth. Cover and let rest 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, mix fresh cheese, Parmesan, and sour cream. Season with salt.
  3. Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the filling evenly.
  4. Layer and bake: Roll the dough tightly, cut into slices, and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden.
  5. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving, optionally with a side of pickled vegetables.
