Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder, whisking until mixed.

Add the well-drained cottage cheese to the flour mixture, mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Flour your hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions, and shape each into a round bun.

In a small bowl, beat an egg with one tablespoon of water to create an egg wash; brush over tops of shaped buns.

Bake the buns for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, then let cool slightly on the baking sheet.

Allow to cool slightly before serving to enhance texture.
