Description

Deliciously soft and buttery brioche rolls packed with protein from cottage cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons Yeast (active dry)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Milk

Instructions

  1. Activate your yeast: Combine the yeast, warm milk, and a teaspoon of sugar in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Create a well and add cottage cheese, butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture.
  3. Mix it up: Use your hands to mix everything until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
  6. Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough, divide into 12 pieces, and roll each into a ball.
  7. Second rise: Cover and let the rolls rise for another 30-60 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare an egg wash.
  9. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Cool and serve: Allow to cool slightly then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

These rolls are best served warm with softened butter or jam. They can also be used for sliders or sandwiches.
