Flaky curd-cheese crescents with sugar

Ingredients

• curd cheese – 500 g
• salt – a pinch
• bicarbonate of soda – 1 tsp
• lemon juice – 1 tbsp
• plain flour – 300 g
• sugar – 100 g

Method

1. Step 1

   Mash the curd cheese a little, add a pinch of salt.

   
2. Step 2

   Quench the soda in lemon juice, you can replace it with 0.5 tsp. vinegar and pour into the curd cheese. Mix. Gradually stir in flour.

   
3. Step 3

   The dough should be quite tight; there is no need to bring it to perfect homogeneity - just gather it into a tight ball.

   
4. Step 4

   Wrap the ball in cling film or put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.

   
5. Step 5

   We take out the chilled dough, let it lie on the table for about 5 minutes and knead it a little with our hands. Then roll it into a ball again and roll it out with a rolling pin into a round sheet about 5 mm thick. Sprinkle with sugar and roll out with a rolling pin, pressing in the sugar, to a thickness of 3 mm.

   
6. Step 6

   We cut the circle into many narrow triangles to make beautiful curled bagels - the narrower the triangle, the more beautiful the bagel will be.

   
7. Step 7

   Roll each triangle of dough into a tube from the base to the corner. Dip the top of each bagel into sugar and place the fold down on a baking tray - the sugar should be at the top.
