Cottage cheese Easter cake without yeast is a real find for those who do not have the opportunity to spend the whole day in the kitchen working on a traditional Easter cake. Unlike the classic rich yeast dough, cottage cheese dough does not require time for rising and proofing, which means you can easily bake this cake right before the holiday. The undeniable merits of the recipe include the taste and texture of the finished dessert - it rises well, turns out soft, and stays fresh for a long time. You can decorate the cake with white, colored, or chocolate glaze, candied fruits, small marshmallows, meringue, or berries.

Kolobki with sour cream are often prepared in the Russian North, where they are called "Arkhangelsk" or "Belomorsk" balls. The essence of the recipe is simple, with very few ingredients, so local housewives often make these mini-buns at home. The dough is made with sour cream, cold butter, and flour: it turns out crumbly and even slightly flaky. However, they don't add sugar, so the kolobki are often stuffed with jam, marmalade, or dried fruits. Some people prefer the unsweetened version: in that case, a bit of paprika or grated cheese is added to the dough.

Cinnamon rolls made from puff pastry will win you over from the first bite. Airy, soft, delicious. The spice gives them a bright flavor and an incomparable aroma! And we will also soak the rolls in glaze. This will make them even softer, more tender, and tastier. The pastry resembles the familiar Cinnabons, which were created by father and son Komen in 1985. Swedes also honor cinnamon pastry and celebrate Kanelbulle Day every year on October 4th – a holiday in honor of this treat. Both options are very tasty because pastries with added spices are good in any preparation. Try making our simpler version with ready-made puff pastry.
