Preheat oven to 400˚F with the oven rack in the middle position.
Prepare the dough: Whisk flour and salt together in a medium-sized bowl. Add butter and rub it with the flour between your fingers to create a blended, shaggy dough. Add cottage cheese and use your hands to mix in the same fashion.
Form dough and turn out onto a floured surface. Roll out to a ½-inch thick rectangle. Fold 1/3 of the dough from the left side into the centre. Repeat with the right side. Turn dough 90 degrees and repeat. Repeat this process three more times.
Divide dough into two equal portions and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Form and bake:Place chilled dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to a large rectangle approximately ½-inch in thickness. Using a 1.5-inch round cookie cutter or a shot glass, cut dough into rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place into oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning the baking sheet at the halfway mark.
Remove from oven when high and golden.

INGREDIENTS
Drum roll please: these cheese puffs are made using only four ingredients. Make sure your butter (unsalted, please) is at room temperature before you begin. This will ensure that the butter blends perfectly with the flour and pressed cottage cheese.
ROLL CALL
Rolling the dough and folding it back onto itself in thirds is KEY to getting these little wonders to rise so high. Do the roll and fold step at least FOUR TIMES, if not more!
CHEESE PLEASE
Pressed cottage cheese is the perfect cheese for this recipe because it contains hardly any liquid. This causes the POGAČICE to expand and climb upwards as they bake. We’re always amazed by how light yet buttery they are. They truly are cheese puffs!
You’ll notice we never mentioned the yield for this recipe. What you see are the results from one of the two wrapped portions of dough. The other is still in the fridge, so you’ll be able to pull it out at a moment’s notice and answer your party-goers cries for more, more, more!
