Method
The dough should be soft, don’t overwork it with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot to proof.
Grate or mash the feta, then mix it with the cottage cheese, salt and eggs into a smooth filling.
Roll into ropes, stretching them wide and placing the filling inside. Pinch the edges shut.
Cut into portions.
Line a greased pan with parchment, place the dough and leave for another 30 minutes to rise well.
Mix sour cream and kefir, add eggs, beat with a whisk and pour over the kerdya.
Preheat the oven to 180°C in advance.
Bake the kerdya for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and, while still hot, brush with butter.
