Description

These cottage cheese pan rolls are a delightful departure from standard yeast breads, offering a uniquely soft texture and a subtle, pleasant tang. The secret lies in blending smooth cottage cheese directly into the dough, which adds moisture and protein without overpowering the flavor. They rise beautifully in the pan, creating a pull-apart loaf that is golden brown on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Perfect for serving warm at brunch, alongside soups, or as the base for hearty sandwiches. This recipe is forgiving and easy to make, requiring just a few pantry staples to create a comforting, homemade treat that feels indulgent yet wholesome. The slight sweetness from the sugar balances the savory notes of the cheese, making these rolls versatile enough for both sweet and savory pairings.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Proof the yeast by dissolving it in 1/4 cup of warm water; let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, salt, baking soda, eggs, and remaining 1/2 cup warm water.
  3. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Add the foamy yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and mix briefly to incorporate.
  5. Add 1 cup of flour and beat until smooth, then gradually add the remaining flour, one cup at a time.
  6. Switch to a dough hook or knead by hand, adding more flour as needed until the dough is soft, smooth, and elastic but not sticky.
  7. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it passes the windowpane test.
  8. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat; cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
  9. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  10. Punch down the dough to release air bubbles.
  11. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces.
  12. Roll each piece between your palms to form a smooth ball.
  13. Place the balls closely together in greased 9x13-inch pans (or disposable aluminum pans).
  14. Cover the pans loosely and let the rolls rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled.
  15. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) during the final rise.
  16. Lightly sprinkle the tops of the rolls with flour for a traditional bakery look.
  17. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped.
  18. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving warm.
