Preparation

Screen ON

Step 1

Use high-quality flour and cold butter straight from the fridge.

Step 2

In a blender, mix the flour, sugar, and cold butter. Blend until fine crumbs form. Set the streusel aside.

Step 3

Prepare the remaining ingredients. You can use yeast-free or yeast puff pastry (store-bought or homemade). Defrost in the fridge. Use firm cottage cheese (like block-style).

Step 4

Rinse and pat dry the raisins. Any kind—dark or golden, large or small—will work.

Step 5

Beat the egg with a fork until smooth. Divide into two unequal parts.

Step 6

If needed, press the cottage cheese through a sieve. In a bowl, mix it with the larger part of the beaten egg, sugar, and vanilla. Mash with a fork until smooth.

Step 7

Add raisins and mix again. You can skip them or replace with other dried fruit.

Step 8

Roll each sheet of pastry into a rectangle. If using a rolled pastry, cut it in half. Make several diagonal slits along the long edges.

Step 9

Spread half of the cottage cheese mixture in the center. Fold in the short edges. Braid the cut edges over the filling.

Step 10

Place the pastries on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space between them. Brush with the remaining egg.

Step 11

Sprinkle with streusel. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20–30 minutes until golden. For extra browning, turn on broil for a few minutes at the end.

Step 12

Transfer the puff pastry pie to a serving plate and enjoy warm or cooled. Bon appétit!
