Cooking features
Cheese dumplings are tastiest if they have little dough and a lot of toppings. However, in order for the dough to turn out to be tender, but strong, and, being rolled out very thinly, not to tear during cooking, you need to know how to cook it correctly.
- Be sure to sift the flour before kneading the dough. So it will not only be cleansed of litter, but also saturated with oxygen. Thanks to this, the dough will turn out more tender, without losing its elasticity.
- In order to make the dough more elastic, add a little vegetable oil to it, and after kneading, let it “rest” a little. At this time, the dough must be covered with cling film so that it does not weather.
- Roll out the dough on dumplings with cheese as thin as possible. If you can’t roll a large piece of dough into a thin layer, you can roll the dough with a sausage, separate small pieces from it and roll them into rounded cakes.
- To make the filling sufficiently viscous, you can add a little chicken protein to it.
- Dumplings are boiled only in boiling water, in a large wide saucepan. At the same time, they need to be thrown into it one at a time, and not all at once, otherwise the dough may stick together.
- So that the finished dumplings do not stick together, grease them with oil. It is best to use butter for this, but if necessary, it is permissible to replace it with vegetable oil, but only without a pronounced smell.
- If you want to give the dumplings an unusual yellowish tint, add turmeric to the dough. You do not need to pour a lot of this seasoning - half a teaspoon will be more than enough.
- Vareniki will not fall apart if steamed. In a slow cooker in the appropriate mode, they should be cooked for 10 minutes. For steaming dumplings, a double boiler, a mantyshnitsa, and even an ordinary pan with gauze stretched over it are also suitable.
Cheese dumplings are usually served without any sauce - they are delicious on their own. But if you supplement them with sour cream, ketchup or mayonnaise, there will be no trouble.

Cheese dumplings - general principles of cooking
Cheese dumplings are one of the easiest options for preparing a popular dish, since you do not need to spend time preparing a complex filling. Just grate or cut any cheese and wrap it in circles of dough. The dough itself for dumplings, as usual, is made from flour, eggs, salt and liquid (water or milk). For a more pronounced taste, aromatic seasoning (for example, turmeric) can be added to the dough, but this can also be done with the filling. For dumplings with cheese, you can use one or more cheese varieties. For "mono-filling" it is better to take medium-hard varieties of cheese. Cheese can be mixed in chopped herbs and cottage cheese - the treat will turn out even tastier! You can sculpt dumplings with cheese in any convenient way: cut out small circles from the dough and fill them with cheese, or roll out a layer, lay out pieces of cheese, and cover with another layer of dough on top - all that remains is to cut the “canvas” into dumplings.
