This mother pastry, which you can smell fresh dill in both its dough and stuffing, and the smell of milk like curd cheese, is a candidate to be an indispensable part of your weekend breakfasts and tea hours with its taste. It is both very practical and very affordable. With pleasure...
Pass the flour, dry yeast, sugar and salt through a wire sieve and put them in a kneading bowl. Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly by blending 1-2 turns.
Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the liquid ingredients (butter, oil and yogurt). Add the crumbled curd cheese and very finely chopped dill and form a soft dough by folding it in the middle.
When the dough does not stick to the hand, wrap it in cling film and leave it at room temperature for 30 minutes.
For the filling, finely chop half a bunch of dill and mix it with curd cheese. Check the salt of the mortar and flavor it with black pepper and salt.
Take your fermented dough out of the stretch and knead a few more turns on the floured counter and take the excess gas.
Divide your dough into walnut-sized balls. Flatten slightly with your fingers and form a round shape. Put 1 teaspoon of mortar in each and close. Shape the edges with a fork. Cover them lightly and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Spread the beaten egg yolk on the pastries that you have placed on the greased tray (or the glass baking dish on which you put baking paper) at intervals. Sprinkle black cumin and bake in a preheated 180 degree oven until golden brown.
You can serve the buns you have taken from the oven with an open top (if you want them crunchy) for 10-15 minutes and serve them warm. Bon Appetit!
Benefits of Ingredients in Curd Cheese And Dill Pastry
Keep in mind: You can click on each ingredient to find other recipes that use that ingredient.
Flour:
Flour is a fundamental foodstuff obtained by grinding grains. It provides our body with a long-lasting energy source, especially through complex carbohydrates. Varieties like whole wheat flour, thanks to their high fiber content, support digestive health, provide a feeling of fullness, and help stabilize blood sugar levels. It also contains essential B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B9) and important minerals such as iron and magnesium, which are crucial for nervous system functions, energy production, and blood formation. It is versatile in the kitchen; forming the base for baked goods like bread and pastries when combined with milk, eggs, and yeast, while also being used to thicken sauces or create harmonious flavors with vegetables.
Curd:
Lor Peyniri, derived from whey, is a dairy product rich in highly bioavailable, fast and slow-digesting proteins (casein/whey). This feature supports muscle repair and provides a sustained feeling of fullness. While its low fat and calorie content makes it suitable for diets, its calcium and phosphorus content positively impacts bone health. It is low in lactose. It can be consumed with fresh herbs (parsley, dill), vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers for breakfast; or with honey, jam, or olive oil for sweet/savory dishes. It also adds flavor to pasta and pastries.
Dry Yeast:
Dry yeast is a key ingredient for baked goods. It's rich in B vitamins like B1, B2, B3, B6, and minerals such as chromium and selenium. Thus, it supports energy metabolism and nervous system health. It is also a source of protein. It pairs wonderfully with whole wheat flour, rye flour, seeds, and various spices.
Yogurt:
Yogurt, a fermented milk product, supports the digestive system and helps balance gut flora due to its rich probiotic content. This contributes to strengthening the immune system. It is also a high-quality source of protein and calcium, important for bone health and muscle development. With its slightly sour taste, it pairs perfectly with fruits, granola, or honey for breakfast. In main dishes, it adds flavor as the main component of cacık or various mezzes.
Dill:
Dill is an aromatic herb frequently used in kitchens, rich in vitamins A and C, and various minerals. It is known for its digestive support, carminative (gas-reducing), and antioxidant properties. It also contains calcium, which can contribute to bone health. It adds a fresh touch to salads, cacık (yogurt dip), olive oil dishes, and fish meals.
Butter:
Butter is a rich, flavorful fat derived from milk. It contains fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K2, along with healthy fatty acids, serving as an energy source. It's easily digestible. Butter enhances the taste of meals and rice dishes, is spread on bread, or used in sauces. It's indispensable for breakfast tables and various recipes.
Liquid Oil:
Liquid oils (sunflower, olive, etc.) are essential kitchen ingredients that add flavor to dishes and contain healthy unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. Ideal for frying, salad dressings, baking, and sautéing. They pair perfectly with vegetables, meats, legumes, and grains. They offer easy cooking.
Sesame:
Sesame is rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, supporting bone health. Its lignans (sesamin, sesamolin) provide powerful antioxidant effects and can help balance cholesterol levels. High fiber content aids digestion. It has a wide range of uses from sweet to savory; often used as tahini with molasses, in salads, baked goods, and frequently in Asian cuisine.
Egg Yolk:
Egg yolk is rich in protein, choline (critical for brain and liver health), vitamins D and A, and powerful antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin. It notably supports eye health, contributes to bone development, and strengthens cognitive functions. Its healthy fat content provides a sense of satiety. It's an excellent binder and flavor enhancer in savory sauces like béchamel, mayonnaise, and Hollandaise, as well as in sweet applications like pastry creams.
Egg:
Eggs are a highly bioavailable protein source, essential for muscle growth and repair. Rich in B12, Vitamin D, selenium, and choline, they support brain function, nervous system health, and energy production. Lutein and zeaxanthin pigments aid eye health, reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Despite their cholesterol content, eggs typically don't adversely affect blood cholesterol in most healthy individuals. A breakfast staple, eggs pair wonderfully with various ingredients like cheese, spinach, mushrooms, avocado, and whole-wheat bread.
Black Cumin:
Black Seed (Nigella Sativa), with its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, supports the immune system, improves digestive health, and benefits respiratory ailments. It helps reduce inflammation in the body. It may also contribute to balancing blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Its intense and slightly bitter flavor pairs wonderfully with ingredients like honey, lemon, turmeric, and olive oil.
