Kalitki with cottage cheese
Origin of the recipe
Kalitki—sometimes called "kolyadki"—were originally a traditional Karelian dish, adopted by the Russians who lived near the Karelians. These simple pastries were served to those who went from house to house singing carols. Kalitki were typically baked from rye dough and filled with potatoes, cabbage, mushrooms, or porridge. We suggest you bake sweet kalitki with cottage cheese.

Pinch the dough loosely to leave an "island" of filling in the middle.
