Whole Wheat Cottage Cheese Rolls Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT COTTAGE CHEESE ROLLS

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.

SOFT 100% WHOLE WHEAT DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 cup warm water in a glass measure. Set aside.
• Cream the butter and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Add the eggs and mix, scraping the sides. Add the warmed milk along with the yeast mixture.
• Add 4½ cups of flour and the salt, mixing until combined. Change to dough hook and knead for 2-3 minutes only, just until no longer tacky, adding a tablespoon or two of flour at a time, if needed. (Do not add too much.)
• Let sit in bowl, covered, to rise for one hour. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a couple of times, then let rest 3 minutes.
• Divide into 24 equal pieces, shaping each into a ball and placing in a buttered 13x9-inch baking dish with the pieces touching.
• Let rise, covered for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

COTTAGE CHEESE ROLLS

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!

• Add a cup of the whole-wheat flour and the salt, and fold inches Add the remaining whole-wheat flour, and fold inches Add enough of the all-purpose flour to make a dough that you can scrape onto a floured work surface. It will help to use a dough scraper, as the dough is sticky. Knead for 10 minutes, adding unbleached flour as necessary. The dough should be elastic and spring back when you press gently with a finger.
• Oil a loaf pan with some of the remaining olive oil. Shape the dough into a loaf, and place in the pan with the seam side facing upward. Lightly brush the top with oil, then turn the loaf so that the seam side is down. Brush lightly again with olive oil. Spray or brush a piece of plastic wrap with oil, and place it, oiled side down, lightly over the pan. Cover with a damp kitchen towel, and place in a warm spot to rise until the dough reaches the edges of the pan, about one hour and 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 F with a rack positioned in the middle.
• Place the dough in the oven, and bake 45 minutes until the loaf responds to tapping with a hollow sound. Remove from the pan, and cool on a rack.
