Step 1:

For the filling: mix the farmer's cheese, finely chopped green onion, dill, eggs, and salt.
Step 2:

Mash the yeast together with 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Step 3:

Let the yeast and sugar sit for 15 minutes.
Step 4:

Add the sugar-yeast mixture, salt, and flour to the water.
Step 5:

Add the flour a little at a time and knead the dough.
Step 6:

Add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Step 7:

The dough should be elastic — neither too firm nor too soft. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 8:

Divide the dough into 6 or 7 pieces.
Step 9:

Leave them in a warm place for 10 minutes.
Step 10:

Roll each dough ball out a little.
Step 11:

Put the filling in the center — a couple of tablespoons.
Step 12:

Gather the edges of the plăcintă together and pinch them shut toward the center. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 13:

Carefully roll out the filled plăcintă. If a little filling escapes at the edges or a small hole appears, it's no big deal. The key is that the farmer's cheese isn't wet (no liquid) — it should be dry.
Step 14:

Fry the plăcinte over medium heat until golden.
