Cottage Cheese Caraway Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Cut yeast and butter into flour, salt and sugar just as if you were making a pastry crust.
• Blend in cottage cheese and eggs. (This is probably easier in a food processor or with a mixer). Gradually add the milk until the dough forms into a ball.
• When the dough has come together, take it out of the bowl and finish kneading by hand. Add the caraway seeds so they distribute through the dough as you knead. It will be slightly sticky, but that's okay.
• Put the dough into a lightly oiled or buttered bowl, cover with plastic or a damp towel and put in a warm place to rise.
• After the dough has doubled in size, punch down and form into balls: I got a dozen large rolls from this recipe.
• Put the rolls on baking sheets, cover with a damp towel and let rise until almost double in size.
• Bake in a 375 degree oven until brown. 15 - 20 minutes.Tapping one on the bottom with your finger should give you a slightly "hollow" sound.

Steps:

• Blend together cottage cheese, margarine, flour & salt (I often use a potato masher for this). Form into a ball and chill dough overnight in a sealed container. (This is so the dough isn't so goopy and sticky & makes it easier to handle and roll out later).
• Divide into four parts. Take one part at a time and roll dough into a circle on a lightly floured surface (about 10-12 inches in diameter). Cut into 12 wedges and roll up each wedge (start with large end) to form croissant shape.
• Bake at 350F for approximately 20 minutes or until you notice nice golden brown spots forming (this is the cottage cheese). Alternatively, you can freeze them and bake them at another time. Personally, I find that I actually like them better when they've been frozen. For some reason, when you make them fresh, they turn out a little differently. You also don't really need to thaw them out before baking for more than a few minutes.
• Frost with icing. Now, the icing is actually the part that makes these so good! The rolls themselves are not sweet at all and really only transform into a dessert once the icing is added. The icing happens to also be one of those things that I don't have a recipe for and sort of just "wing it". It's maybe roughly a cup of icing sugar, maybe 4 tablespoons of milk, and several dashes of cinnamon. You can experiment with the amounts until you get something you're happy with.
• These are best served fresh and warm out of the oven and I like them with a nice cold glass of milk!

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
• Add the cottage cheese, sugar, eggs, caraway seeds, salt, baking soda, rye flour and 1 c all purpose flour, mix well.
• Stir in enough remaining flour to form a sticky batter, do not knead.
• Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Stir dough down.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface, divide into 24 pieces.
• Place in well greased muffin cups. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 35 minutes.
• Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans. Cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients and 1 cup all-purpose flour. In a small saucepan, heat milk, water, butter and honey to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 3 minutes. Stir in onion and enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 18 balls. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°., For egg wash, in a small bowl, whisk egg and water; brush over rolls. Bake until lightly browned, 11-14 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Prepare the yeast: In a medium bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (between 110 to 120 degrees F). Set aside.
• Make the dough: Oil a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the bread flour with the caraway, honey, molasses, salt and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix to blend. Stir in the cottage cheese and the egg. With the mixer on low speed, add the yeast mixture. Transfer the dough to the oiled bowl. (The oil will prevent the dough from sticking to the sides as it rises.) Cover with a towel and put in a warm place to double in volume, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Then gently push the air out of the dough. Cover and let rise again, 1 more hour.
• Prepare the dough: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease two baking sheets with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Divide the dough into 8 even balls and place 4 each in a single layer on each baking sheet. Flatten the balls gently with your hand.
• Bake the bread: Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Place the trays in the center of the oven and bake, undisturbed, 20 to 25 minutes. The tops should be light to medium brown. Remove from the oven. Cool at least 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a small saucepan, heat cottage cheese to 110°-115°. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, salt, baking soda and 2 cups flour to yeast mixture. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough (dough will be sticky). , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 30 pieces. Shape each piece into a roll. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. , Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour, yeast, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
• In saucepan, heat water, cottage cheese, and butter until warm (butter does not need to melt).
• Remove from heat and add eggs to the liquid mixture.
• Combine dry and wet ingredients, blend at low speed until moistened, beat 3 minutes at medium speed.
• By hand, gradually add all of the whole-wheat flour and enough of the all purpose to make a firm, non-sticky dough.
• Knead until smooth and elastic - 5 minutes or so.
• Place in greased bowl, flipping to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled. This takes roughly an hour.
• Punch down dough and divide into 24 pieces. Form these into balls and place in greased muffin cups.
• Cover and let rise until doubled, another 45 minutes.
• Bake in an oven preheated to 375 for 12-15 minutes.
