Mix the warm milk, yeast, and half the sugar.
Add the flour, salt, butter, and 1 egg, and knead a soft dough.
Let the dough rise for 50 minutes.
Mix the tvorog, remaining sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and 1 egg.
Divide the dough into 10 balls and hollow the centers with the bottom of a glass.
Divide the cheese filling into the hollows.
Bake the buns at 190°C for 20 minutes.
Rest for 8 minutes before serving warm.
💡 Tip: Do not flatten the edges while pressing the center; the raised ring preserves the vatrushka shape.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve vatrushka warm with tea and optional fruit jam.
