Ingredients

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon dried yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups full fat cottage cheese
  • Up to ½ cup milk + approximately ¼ cup milk for brushing rolls before baking
  • Sesame seeds for sprinkling on top of rolls before baking

Instructions

  • Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl, mixing before each addition.
  • Add the cottage cheese and eggs, and mix to combine.
  • Slowly add milk and mix, until a soft but not sticky dough has formed.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl, and knead until smooth and elastic.
  • Form a ball, place back in the bowl, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  • Let rise until the dough reaches the top of the bowl, or until the dough is light, and airy, and has started to form visible air bubbles on the top.
  • Once fully risen, deflate dough and divide into 21 portions.
  • Roll into balls, then form a snake and tie a simple knot (optional).
  • Place rolls on a baking paper lined baking sheet, leaving room for rolls to expand and rise.
  • Let rolls rise until they appear puffed like marshmallows, then lightly brush with milk, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until golden brown
  • Let cool completely before eating. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days, or keep in the freezer and defrost as needed.
