I don't like making yeast dough. Waiting for the dough to rise irritates me. I like eating cakes, small buns with fruit and other kinds of filling.

Today I decided not to give in to laziness and to celebrate Children's Day with pretty, small buns with raspberries, cottage cheese and a crumble topping. My children were delighted and I felt like a child when I relished the small, warm, soft bun with a sweet and sour filling. After all, in each of us there is a little bit of child, isn't there?

Ingredients (8 buns)
dough
250g of flour
7g of dry yeast
1 egg
75g of sugar
125ml of milk
40g of butter
a pinch of salt
filling
40 raspberries
8 teaspoons of cottage cheese
1 teaspoon of potato flour
2 teaspoons of caster sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
crumble topping
50g of flour
25g of caster sugar
25g of cool butter

Mix together the flour and dry yeast. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the butter) and knead the dough until it doesn't stick to your hand. Then add the melted butter (leave 2 tablespoons of the butter for later) and knead it again. The dough should be soft and flexible. Put the dough into a bowl sprinkled with flour and cover with a clean cloth and leave in a warm place for an hour and a half.
Make the crumble topping. Mix the flour and caster sugar in a bowl. Add the cool butter and knead the mixture.
Heat the oven up to 180C. Cover a baking sheet with some baking paper.
Mix the cottage cheese with 1 teaspoon of caster sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence. Clean the raspberries. Put them into some small bowls. Add the potato flour and 1 teaspoon of caster sugar. Stir gently.
Knead the dough again. Roll out the dough and cut it into 8 squares.
Put 1 teaspoon of the cottage cheese and 5 raspberries onto the centre of each square. Stick each bun together and put it onto the baking paper with the seam of the dough facing down. Leave in a warm place for 20 minutes. Smooth the top of the buns with the rest of the butter and sprinkle with the crumble topping. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Decorate the baked buns with some icing or sprinkle with the caster sugar.

Enjoy your meal!
