Instructions
Step 1
Sesame biscuits
First, sift the amount of flour indicated in the recipe so that it is free of lumps. Add baking powder, salt and sesame seeds to the prepared flour. Cut the hard butter into small fractions and combine it with the main composition. Pour in half a glass of cold water and, having mixed the ingredients, quickly knead the dough. Then, having cut it in two, place it in a dark and cool place for half an hour.
Step 2
Then roll out the dough so that you get a layer 3-5 millimeters thick. Make punctures over the entire surface with a fork so that the dough does not bubble during baking, and the surface of the biscuits is even.
Step 3
Carefully cut out small geometric figures from the dough with a knife: squares or rhombuses. Place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake at 180 ° C for 25-30 minutes.
Step 4
Biscuits with cottage cheese
Sift the flour so that it is free of lumps. Add the required amount of salt and butter, chopped into small pieces, according to the recipe. Stir the mixture with cold water. Knead the dough as quickly as possible and refrigerate for half an hour.
Step 5
While the dough is settling, prepare the filling. To do this, take cooked cottage cheese and mix it with chopped garlic, the amount of which can be increased depending on your taste preferences. Add a pinch of pepper and dried basil to the mixture.
Step 6
Then, after rolling out the dough, put it on a baking sheet. Distribute the entire volume of the curd filling on top, gently bending the edges of the dough.
The biscuits should be baked at 180 ° C for 40 minutes. This dish can be the perfect solution for a hearty breakfast.
