๐ Ingredients List
- 1 cup Curd Cheese (Lor Peyniri) – The low-salt version is best for babies! ๐ง
- 1/2 cup Plain Yogurt (Full fat) ๐ฅฃ
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil (Extra virgin) ๐ซ
- 1 Egg (Keep the yolk for the top, white for the dough) ๐ฅ
- ~1.5 - 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour (Add gradually) ๐พ
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- Optional: A pinch of finely chopped parsley for vitamins! ๐ฟ
๐ฉ๐ณ Step-by-Step Instructions
- Whisk the Wet: In a bowl, mix yogurt, olive oil, and the egg white. ๐ฅฃ
- Add the Cheese: Fold in the curd cheese (and parsley if using). Mix well. ๐ง
- Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift in the flour and baking powder. Knead until you get a dough that doesn't stick to your hands but stays soft like a "cotton ball." ☁️

- Glaze: Place them on a tray with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the saved egg yolk. ๐️

๐ก Pro Tips & Storage
- Softness Secret: Don't add too much flour! The softer the dough, the fluffier the bun. ๐คซ
- Storage: Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or in the fridge for 4 days. ๐ง
- Can I freeze them? YES! ❄️ These are freezer-friendly. Once cooled, put them in a freezer bag. Just warm them up in the oven or microwave for a few seconds whenever your baby is hungry!
