If you love cottage cheese pastries, then you have successfully come to visit me. Today I propose to prepare a delicious cottage cheese cake in a bread maker, the recipe with photos is already waiting for you here. You can use the recipe for a Moulinex or Panasonic bread machine, or you can use another one. The main thing is that there is a function for kneading the dough. It turns out that such baked goods, in addition to their wonderful taste, are healthy, fluffy and aromatic. With a cup of tea or coffee - just right!
But for baking a cupcake with cottage cheese, the program with the same name - “Cupcake” - is not entirely suitable.
Why? Because it is designed for baking with yeast, but not for baking with baking powder or soda, since the oven kneads the dough for too long, and during this time all the baking powder disappears. Therefore, the cake in the end does not turn out airy, but comes out dense and moist inside, and with a burnt crust on top. But for yeast baked goods, this is undoubtedly the best thing, because the dough has time to rise and the baked goods turn out excellent.
But let’s return to our cake with cottage cheese in a bread machine, the recipe for which you are reading. Although the automatic cupcake mode is not suitable, there is still a way out!
Here's what we'll do: put all the ingredients in the oven bowl, then turn on the dough kneading mode for a few minutes, and then use the "Bake" program. And then you will get what you need - a wonderful and tasty cake, tender, with a lot of holes.
So, let's not waste time and start cooking so that in a couple of hours we can treat our family with delicious cottage cheese pastries.
