Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Caraway seeds
- 1.25 cups Cottage cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 units Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, sugar, and caraway seeds. Mix well to evenly distribute dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the cottage cheese until just warm (not hot). Remove from heat and stir in the melted butter and milk.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and slowly whisk them into the warm cottage cheese mixture. Ensure the mixture is not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir to combine, then gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Cover the shaped rolls with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Brush the tops with a little melted butter or milk for a golden finish, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
