Total preparation time: 3 hours
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 10-12

Ingredients:

For the dough:
- 1 kg of high-quality flour
- 1 cube of fresh yeast (approximately 25 g)
- 3 egg yolks
- 120 g sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- Vanilla essence (to taste)
- A pinch of salt
- 350 ml milk
- 100 g melted and warm butter
- 100 ml oil

For the filling:
- 500 g cottage cheese (preferably fresh and well-drained)
- A pinch of salt
- 4 egg whites
- 2 whole eggs
- 100 g sugar
- Vanilla essence (to taste)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar

For brushing:
- 1 egg yolk
- Brown sugar for sprinkling on top

Preparation:

1. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, mix the yeast with 2 tablespoons of sugar until it becomes a smooth paste. Add 3-4 tablespoons of flour and mix well. Let the mixture rise for 15 minutes in a warm place, covered with a damp towel. This will activate the yeast, allowing it to ferment.

2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, sift the flour and add a pinch of salt. In the center of the flour, make a small well and pour in the risen yeast mixture. Then, in a saucepan, heat the milk with the sugar and vanilla sugar until it becomes warm. It is important that it is not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.

3. Combining the ingredients: After the milk has cooled slightly, add the vanilla essence, then pour it into the bowl with the flour. Beat the egg yolks with a whisk and gradually add them to the mixture, stirring well. Start kneading the dough, gradually adding the melted butter mixed with the oil. Continue kneading until you obtain a soft, elastic, and non-sticky dough.

4. First rising: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume (about 1-1.5 hours).

5. Preparing the filling: In another bowl, mix the cottage cheese with a pinch of salt. Add the beaten egg whites, the two whole eggs, sugar, vanilla essence, and vanilla sugar. Mix well until you obtain a smooth mixture.

6. Shaping the bread: After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly oiled surface. Divide it into two equal parts. Roll each piece of dough with your hands, then add half of the filling and carefully roll it up. Transfer the breads to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

7. Second rising: Let the breads rise in the tray for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C.

8. Brushing and baking: Brush the breads with egg yolk and sprinkle brown sugar on top. Bake them in the oven for about 1 hour, or until they become golden and sound hollow when lightly tapped on the bottom.

9. Cooling: After the breads are done, brush them with a little water and cover them with parchment paper and a towel to prevent the crust from hardening. Let them cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.

Useful tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help achieve a uniform and fluffy dough.
- You can personalize the filling by adding raisins, nuts, or chocolate, according to your preferences.
- If you want a more aromatic bread, you can add grated lemon or orange zest to the filling.
