Method :

• In a bowl, take flour and in the centre, add water, yeast, sugar & salt. Wait for a minute and mix it with a spatula to make a soft dough. (add more water if needed)

• Put the dough on a clean surface. Knead it for 10 minutes by stretching and then rolling it together.

• Add butter to the dough and knead again for 2-3 minutes. The dough should be smooth and soft.

• Now put the dough in the same pot and cover it with a cling foil or damp muslin cloth. Let it rest for 25 minutes.

• Meanwhile, put a pan on medium heat and saute the chopped onions in butter (caramelised onions).

• When the onions cool down, add the cottage cheese, salt, pepper and tomato sauce. Mix it together.

• Make even sized balls from the dough and flatten them.

• Put the mixture in the centre and put mozzarella cheese on it; shape them again into balls with the stuffing in the centre.

• Arrange the balls on a greased tray. Let them rest for 30 minutes.

• Brush them with milk and bake for 20 – 25 minutes at 200° F.

• Take the tray out and brush the freshly baked stuffed buns with butter and serve.
