Cottage Cheese Rolls recipe

Staying with friends in the US I lend a hand in the kitchen from time to time. At one point I was presented with a recipe for cottage cheese biscuits (what we call buns or rolls in Europe). They turned out so well that I want to share the recipe with you!



They tasted particularly good after a brisk walk in winter wonder land! 

Adapted from a Mennonite Cookbook from the 1970's, these moist and yeasty rolls have become a family favorite.

Serves 2 dozen rolls

• 2 packets dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 2 cups cottage cheese - heated to luke warm
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 4 - 5 cups bread flour

1. in small bowl, combine yeast and warm water
2. In large bowl, combine yeast mixture and all remaining ingredients except flour and stir until well combined
3. Slowly mix in flour....stirring with wooden spoon until mixture forms a ball.
4. Turn dough onto floured surface and knead 5 minutes.
