Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Slice and wash leeks, then sauté in oil for 4-5 mins until wilted.

Tip: Pre-cooking prevents raw onion water from making the dough soggy.
2

Whisk flours, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Tip: Even distribution of leavening agent.
3

In another bowl, mix eggs, water, and mashed cottage cheese, then add to dry ingredients.

Tip: Don't overmix; just combine to avoid tough dough.
4

Fold in the cooled leeks.

Tip: Use a spatula.
5

Grease and flour the pan. Pour in batter and smooth top.

Tip: Ensures easy release.
6

Bake 30-35 mins until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Tip: Cover with foil if browning too fast.
7

Cool on rack 10-15 mins before slicing.

Tip: Structure sets while cooling.
