Coconut oil adds a unique flavor while reducing dairy.

Mix flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl.

Warm water slightly and add to the flour mixture.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

In a separate bowl, combine cottage cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla, and lemon zest.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.

Cut the dough into circles using a glass or cookie cutter.

Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the filled dough until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
