In a different bowl add your cottage cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice and some lemon zest. Give it all a really good mix. You can see our yeast is nice and activated. Add your yeast into a bowl with your milk mixture, melted butter. I'm going to add half of the flour now and then mix it through and then add another half add your dough onto a floured surface and we're just gonna knead it few times and then place it back into your bowl and leave it to rise okay look at that dough is doubled in size beautiful so we're just gonna take it out and place it onto a floured surface and add a bit more flour on top roll out your dough add your cottage cheese filling right in the middle make the same cuts from both sides and then fold the dough on top making a nice pattern just like that. Put your pastry onto a baking dish with some parchment paper and coat it with some egg wash. Leave it aside so it can rise for another 20 minutes.
