Preparation Time:
- Total time: 2 hours
- Preparation time: 30 minutes
- Baking time: 45 minutes
- Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 750 ml flour
- 10 g dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 50 ml warm water
- 10 tablespoons kefir (or yogurt)
- 10 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- A pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons stevia extract (or to taste)
- 4 tablespoons turkey lard
- 5 tablespoons flour (for mixing with lard)
- 1 tablespoon semolina

Cheese filling:
- 500 g sweet cheese
- 3 tablespoons stevia extract (or sugar, to taste)
- 1 sachet Bourbon vanilla sugar
- 3 tablespoons semolina
- 2 tablespoons sour cream

Fruit filling:
- 250 g berries (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons stevia extract (or sugar, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon semolina

Step by Step for Preparing the Rolls:

Step 1: Preparing the Dough
1. Activating the yeast: In a bowl, add the flour and make a well in the center. In this well, place the yeast, brown sugar, and warm water. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes in a warm place until the yeast starts to bubble.

2. Mixing the ingredients: Meanwhile, warm the kefir, oil, and milk in the microwave for about 30 seconds until they become warm (not hot). After the yeast is activated, add the kefir mixture, a pinch of salt, the egg, and stevia to the bowl with the flour. Start kneading the dough, gradually adding the kefir mixture.

3. Kneading: Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise for 30 minutes, preferably in a warm place, such as near a fireplace.

Step 2: Preparing the Fillings
1. Cheese filling: In a bowl, mix the sweet cheese with the sour cream, stevia, vanilla sugar, and semolina. Make sure the mixture is smooth and creamy.

2. Fruit filling: In another bowl, mix the berries with the semolina and stevia. This will help absorb the fruit juice, preventing the rolls from becoming too wet.

Step 3: Forming the Rolls
1. Rolling out the dough: After the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and roll out the dough into a thin sheet. It should be thin enough to allow for rolling but not so thin that it tears.

2. Applying the fillings: Spread the mixture of turkey lard mixed with flour and semolina over the sheet of dough. Then, add half of the cheese filling, sprinkle the berries, and tightly roll the dough.

3. Preparing for baking: Place the roll in a loaf pan. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and fillings. You can use the leftover dough to form raspberry pillows. Cut the sheets of dough into rectangles, add the raspberry filling, and seal them.

Step 4: Baking
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the rolls for about 45 minutes or until they become golden and fluffy. If the raspberry pillows are smaller, they can be baked for 25-30 minutes.

Serving and Suggestions
After the rolls are baked, let them cool for a few minutes before cutting. Served warm or at room temperature, these rolls are delicious alongside a cup of tea or coffee. Add a spoonful of sour cream or whipped cream on top for an extra flavor boost.

Variations and Helpful Tips:
- You can experiment with other types of cheese, such as ricotta or mascarpone, for a different texture.
- Replace the berries with apples or peaches for a seasonal variation.
- If you don’t have kefir, Greek yogurt is an excellent alternative.
- For a more intense flavor, add a few drops of vanilla extract to the cheese mixture.

Nutritional Benefits
These rolls are not only delicious but also nutritious, thanks to the cheese and berries that are rich in protein, vitamins, and antioxidants. Whole wheat flour can be used for a healthier version. Calories vary depending on the amount of sugar and type of fat used, but on average, a serving contains about 250-300 calories.

Frequently Asked Questions

2. How can I store the rolls? They store well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
3. Can I freeze the rolls? Yes, you can freeze the baked rolls. Thawing can be done at room temperature or by lightly baking in the oven.
