Vatrushka (Belarusian Russian and Ukrainian: Ватрушка) is an Eastern Europe pastry formed as a ring of dough with quark or cottage cheese in the middle often with the addition of raisins or bits of fruit. Ranging in size from five inches to two and a half feet in diameter vatrushkas are typically baked using a sweet yeast bread dough pastry but also are made using unsweetened dough with onion added to the filling.
