A Vatrushka is a Russian/Ukrainian bun that is filled with a filling on the outside. Vatrushki are sweet Russian pastries made with a yeast dough and filled with cheese filling. Plump, sweet, fragrant vatrushkas are a perfect fit for your holiday table as well as your daily cup of tea. When the cheese filling is sweetened, raisins or pieces of other dry or fresh fruits can be added to create a more interesting flavor. Occasionally jam, fruit preserves, mashed vegetables, or even ground meat is used as filling instead of cheese although the resulting pastry should not be really called vatrushka.
Hey guys, welcome to my channel and today I'll show you how to make
vatrushki. Vatrushki is one
of my favorite things I used to have as a kid.
I used to just secretly go to the shops
and buy two of them because my mom didn't
let me eat more than one. And this recipe is so easy, so fantastic
and you guys have been requesting it so much because
for a lot of you it's your childhood treat, just like for me.
So let's get started. Don't forget to leave your comments down below,
give me big thumbs up and subscribe it's a red button somewhere here
or here i can never remember
and yeah let's get baking we're going
to need butter eggs fast action dry yeast plain flour
sugar sour cream vegetable oil milk i'm using
some raisins farmer's cheese cottage cheese or
ricotta cheese cream cheese
and some salt i have warmed up my milk to lukewarm and we're going to
add sugar, fast action dry yeast in there
and about 2 tablespoons of flour. You can
see our yeast is nice and activated.
Into a bowl add your melted butter, vanilla extract,
add sour cream, add your eggs, add
your milk and yeast and your flour.
Add your dough onto
a floured surface.
The dough will be very nice and soft so knead it for a little bit.
your dough back into your bowl
and I've oiled it with some vegetable oil. Just
roll it around and turn it around
and we're gonna leave it to rise. In a bowl
combine your cream cheese,
your cottage cheese or farmer's cheese, one egg,
vanilla extract, sugar and flour.
Give it all a really good mix. I'm going to add
half of my cottage cheese mixture into another bowl
and add raisins in there. So
our dough has risen and doubled in size.
Look at that beautiful dough. Add some
flour onto your surface
and to make vatrushki all we're gonna do is just
take a pinch just like that and roll into balls
and do that with all the
pastry. Flatten each ball with your hands
and we're gonna leave it aside to rise
for another half an hour.
Once your balls have risen take a cup, any cup will do in
the house and just press in the middle add about
a tablespoon of the filling
into each
dough glaze
them with some
egg wash
around look
at that beauty
these
are so amazing the dough is soft
and fluffy the cream cheese cheesy filling
inside it's just soft and delicious really really takes me back to my
childhood give me a big thumbs up guys don't forget
to share and I'll see you

Bye.
