Odlična peciva sa Sanelinog bloga U mojoj kuhinji 2, na kojemu možete pronaći mnoštvo fantastičnih (posebice krušnih) recepata.
Nama su se ova peciva veoma svidjela. Ovdje možete pogledati Sanelin recept, koju u osnovi koristi Miliczino "tijesto za sve", čiji pak recept možete pogledati ovdje.

Posebno mi se svidio ovaj način motanja tijesta jer je prije svega zabavan, a zatim i vrlo dekorativan. Ružice sam slagala u kalupe za muffine i iz količine sastojaka navedenih u receptu (500 g brašna) dobila sam točno 12 ružica, taman da popune tavu za muffine. Nisam ih slagala u papirnate košarice već izravno u maslacem premazane kalupe. Punjene su svježim sirom, a prije motanja sam svaku ružicu premazala mješavinom rastopljenog maslaca, sjeckanog peršina i češnjaka u prahu te im na taj način osigurala divan miris. Obožavam češnjak i otkad sam probala garlic knots često premažem peciva sličnom kombinacijom. Dodala sam malo više mlijeka u tijesto (kojih 50 ml više). Recept je za svaku preporuku!

This is a fantastic recipe, above all fun to make. It will take you back to the times when you were a curious kid, eagerly watching your mom or grandma making bread and trying to get a piece of dough to play with. Well, guess what: you don't ever have to stop being a kid and playing with dough. These rolls are so much fun to make.
The dough is very easy to work with. I adapted the recipe from a fellow blogger Sanela, you can see the original here. It's best to bake these in muffin cups so they don't lose their shape. I wasn't sure how to translate the name of the recipe, in Croatian they're called "Savoury roses" since their shape is reminiscent of roses. But I decided to go with "Cottage cheese rolls" since cottage cheese is used as the filling.

                                                                     Cottage cheese rolls
                                                                               (makes 12)
For the dough:

• 500 g all purpose flour
• 200 g yogurt (or sour cream)
• 100 ml oil (I used olive)
• 150 ml milk
• 4 g instant yeast
• 6 g baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp sugar

For the filling:

• cottage cheese

You will also need:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp powdered garlic
• 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (optional)

1. Combine flour with instant yeast, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add milk, yogurt and oil, knead until smooth dough forms. Place in oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap, leave to double in size (about 1 h 30 min).

2. Melt butter with powdered garlic and chopped parsley.

3. Divide dough into 12 balls. Roll out each ball into circles,3-4 mm thick. Brush each with herbed melted butter. Cut the circle in four places, leave the middle untouched. Take a look at the step by step guide on this link. It's actually very simple. Put 1 tsp of cottage cheese in the middle of each circle and wrap each part around that cheese in the middle.

4. Put rolls in buttered muffin cups.

5. Preheat oven to 180 Celsius.

6. Bake for about 30 min, until golden brown. Serve warm.
