Cottage cheese for a healthy diet

Dietary nutrition is a well-developed, complete diet in which the amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates is balanced, optimally suits a person for satiety, but does not lead to excess weight gain.

There are not so many fats and carbohydrates in healthy foods, but these products are rich in protein. Thanks to proteins, you can not only normalize digestion and lose extra pounds, but also gain a sculpted, strong body during physical activity.

Among protein products, milk and its fermented milk derivatives are especially popular. The most common is cottage cheese. It is not only very healthy, but also tasty, has enough fat content options, is widely used in cooking and is suitable for both hot dishes and desserts.

Advantages of cottage cheese:

  1. High content of easily digestible proteins.
  2. The presence of phosphorus and calcium, necessary for healthy teeth and bones, especially for children and pregnant women.
  3. Presence of important amino acids. Their deficiency in the body can cause problems with hematopoiesis, liver function, and nervous disorders. Regular consumption of cottage cheese is the best prevention of these conditions.

Cottage cheese is especially popular as a breakfast or snack dish. But whatever one may say, fresh cottage cheese, even with different serving options, can quickly get boring at the beginning of the day. And when a dietary product gets boring, a person involuntarily looks for an easy replacement, not always from the permitted menu. To avoid breakdowns and addiction, pure cottage cheese can be replaced with cottage cheese dumplings.

PP dough for dumplings

So, if you decide to make classic dumplings, but want to make the dough healthier, then be sure to try this recipe. You will need these ingredients:

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour. Take half whole grain wheat and half oat flour. Don't forget to sift the flour before starting cooking.
  • half a glass of cornmeal.
  • 1 egg.
  • 1 glass of water.
  • 1 teaspoon salt.

Mix three types of flour and add salt. Set aside about half a glass of flour in advance; we will need it later. Break the egg into the water and beat with a whisk. Pour flour there and knead the dough. Knead until it becomes stiff, gradually adding the remaining flour to it. It is not at all necessary to start preparing dumplings right away. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

How to cook lazy cottage cheese dumplings with semolina (without flour)

Many people think that using semolina instead of flour makes the dish more dietary. Unfortunately, it is not. Semolina is made from the same wheat, it just has a coarser grind. Thanks to this, it retains more soluble fiber and is responsible for its tendency to swell when liquid is added.

The calorie content remains almost the same as that of wheat flour.

So, of course, you can use semolina in making dumplings, but you shouldn’t expect that they will become even less caloric.

Secrets of making dumplings

  • The first secret. When shaping the dumplings, wet your hands with water to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • The second secret. To ensure that the dough is not damaged during cooking, you need to roll it well when forming each dumpling.
  • The third secret. If you are freezing dumplings on a cutting board, then in order for the frozen dumplings to come off easily, first wrap the board with a couple of layers of cling film. This method is suitable for any preparations, for example, cutlets, meatballs or cheesecakes.
