Fried Dough with Cottage Cheese Recipe

This recipe combines the crispy texture of fried dough with the creamy goodness of cottage cheese, creating a delicious and satisfying snack or appetizer.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough: In a small bowl, combine the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, milk, and olive oil. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
2. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin circle.
3. Cut into circles: Using a cookie cutter or a glass, cut the dough into circles.
4. Fill with cottage cheese: Place a spoonful of cottage cheese in the center of each circle. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of oregano.
5. Fold and seal: Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal.
6. Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 375°F (190°C). Carefully drop the filled dough circles into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Drain and serve: Remove the fried dough from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately while hot.
