INGREDIENTS:
For the dough:
400 ml of milk or water;
500 g of flour;
50 grams of butter;
5 grams of dry yeast or 15 grams of fresh yeast;
10 g of sugar (2 teaspoons);
1 teaspoon of salt;
For the filling:
200 grams of potatoes;
2 bulbs;
300 g of suluguni cheese, cottage cheese, telemea or cow’s cheese;
10 grams of butter;
salt/pepper to taste.
METHOD OF COOKING:
Add salt, sugar and yeast to warm milk. Mix and wait until the composition foams.

Add flour and knead the dough. It will be sticky, so at the end of the kneading, grease your hands with oil and continue kneading until the composition does not peel away from the walls of the bowl.

Grease the walls of the bowl with oil, lay out the dough and leave the bowl for 40 minutes in a warm place.

Then knead the dough again and let it rise.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Boil the potatoes, make a puree, and add grated cheese to it. Salt, mix well and divide the filling into 3 equal parts.

Divide the dough in the same way into 3 parts and roll out a round stick from each.

Place a ball of filling in the middle of the circle, and seal the edges of the dough, forming a pouch.

Sprinkle the work surface with flour and spread the glue in a thin layer, using a rolling pin or with your hands. Prick the dough with a fork in several places to remove air.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the loaves on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake until golden brown.

Grease the finished cakes with oil, leave for a while, then you can serve.

Advice. If you will use cheese, then add more salt to the filling. Make sure the dough is loose – dip your hands in oil so it doesn’t stick when kneading – this way you won’t need to add too much flour.

These sticks can be filled with any filling: beans, meat, greens and egg. We hope you enjoy this recipe, because we are simply thrilled with it. Try making limes, the ingredients are simple and you will definitely find them in the fridge.

We wish you a pleasant appetite in the circle of your loved ones!
