   Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, combine cottage cheese, chopped parsley, chives, dill, and black pepper. Mix well.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure cottage cheese is well-drained to avoid a watery filling.
4. 4

   Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a thin rectangle, about 30x40 cm.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Aim for a thickness of about 2-3 mm.
5. 5

   Spread the filling: Evenly spread the cottage cheese mixture over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border on the edges.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Don't overfill, as it will make rolling difficult.
6. 6

   Roll up the dough: Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Roll tightly to prevent the filling from escaping during cooking.

   Cut the rolls: Cut the log into 3-4 cm thick slices.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary.
