A cream cheese and cottage cheese bun is a baked savoury pastry with a soft dough and a fresh-cheese filling or cheese mixed into the dough. The Turkish version uses lor, a mild fresh whey cheese, and recipes vary in how they add the cream.
Make a soft savoury dough, drain the lor well, and either fold the cheese into the dough or enclose it as a filling. Seal the edges firmly and bake until the buns are cooked through and lightly browned.
It is a type of Turkish poğaça: a savoury baked bun that can be plain or filled. The cream cheese and cottage cheese version is distinguished by its fresh-cheese flavour and softer interior, rather than being a separate pastry category.
The filling can leak if the lor is watery, the bun is overfilled, or the seam is not sealed. Drain the cheese, leave a clear edge around the dough, and place each bun seam-side down before baking.
Yes, a cream cheese and cottage cheese bun can be made with baking powder instead of yeast. The quick dough needs no proofing, though the result is usually more tender and crumbly than the airy, bread-like yeast version.
Yes, ricotta can replace lor in a cream cheese and cottage cheese bun, but drain it first because it may be wetter. Its texture is creamier, so use enough dough to enclose the filling securely.
Store a cream cheese and cottage cheese bun in a sealed container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Because it contains fresh dairy cheese, do not leave it at room temperature for extended periods; warm it in an oven before serving.
Yes, freeze a cream cheese and cottage cheese bun after it has cooled, wrapping the pieces separately to prevent freezer burn. Thaw it in the refrigerator or reheat it from frozen in an oven until warmed through.
Reheat a cream cheese and cottage cheese bun in an oven or toaster oven so moisture can escape and the outside can regain some crispness. A microwave is quicker but tends to soften the crust.
Serve a cream cheese and cottage cheese bun with tea, fresh vegetables, olives, or a simple salad. Its savoury cheese filling makes it suitable for breakfast or a light lunch without needing another rich side.

A cream cheese and cottage cheese bun is a Turkish-style baked poğaça: soft savoury pastry dough wrapped around a creamy filling made with lor, a mild fresh curd cheese. Recipes vary, but the result is tender rather than flaky, with a gentle dairy flavour.
In Turkey, poğaça is a familiar breakfast or tea-time bite, and this version is best enjoyed warm from the bakery or oven. It also works as a portable snack. The bun provides carbohydrates from the dough as well as some protein from the cheese; a 100 g portion has 9.1 g of protein. For a lighter breakfast, pair it with fresh vegetables and tea rather than a second pastry.
