Yeast cheese cake with kefir in the oven

Knead the dough. To do this, measure out kefir in the specified amount and heat it to a hot state. We put a piece of butter in it. Stir until the butter is completely melted. We leave the kefir-oil mixture to cool to a warm state. Sift half of the flour into another bowl. Pour salt, granulated sugar and dry yeast into it, mix the dry ingredients thoroughly with each other. Pour the warm kefir-oil mixture in a thin stream into the dry mixture, while kneading the dough with a spoon. Pour in vegetable oil, mix. Then add the remaining flour in portions and gradually knead the soft, but well-shaped dough. It should not stick to your hands after kneading. We roll the mass into a smooth ball, put it in a bowl and tighten it with cling film. We put the dough in a warm place for one to one and a half hours for proofing. During the specified time, the mass should noticeably increase in volume.

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Rub hard cheese on a coarse grater. Cakes are especially juicy and tasty if you use cheese with a high percentage of fat. The resulting cheese shavings are thoroughly mixed with sour cream - the mass should begin to form into lumps.

Knead the dough that has come up with your hands and cut into four equal parts. Roll each part into a ball.

Lubricate the working surface with a small amount of vegetable oil. We roll each part with a rolling pin into a layer with an approximate diameter of twenty to twenty two centimeters.

Divide the prepared cheese filling according to the number of dough parts, plus one more part for sprinkling the surface. Place the cheese mass in the center of each rolled flat cake. Raise the free edges over the filling and squeeze them together. We pinch it well with our fingers - it looks like a bag. Turn the workpiece over with a pinch down, press it with the palm of your hand and gently roll it into cakes with a rolling pin. The approximate thickness of the stuffed cakes is one centimeter.

Grease the baking sheet with vegetable oil or cover with oiled parchment. We spread the prepared cakes on it at a distance from each other, since the dough increases during baking.Shake the egg well in a separate bowl and grease the surface of the cakes with the resulting mixture using a silicone brush.

Sprinkle the surface greased with an egg evenly with the left cheese filling.

Preheat the oven to a temperature of 220 degrees. Set the baking sheet with tortillas to the middle level and bake for fifteen to twenty minutes. Finished cakes noticeably increase in volume and are covered with a golden crust. We take them out of the oven, transfer them to a serving plate and immediately serve them to the table. Store the cooled cakes in a sealed container or in a bag and heat them in the microwave if necessary.
