How to Make Quick Cottage Cheese Rolls

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, melted butter, egg, and milk. Stir until well combined.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4: Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. The dough should be sticky but manageable. If it’s too dry, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 5: Shape the Rolls

Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the dough and shape them into small balls or drop them in mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them a little apart as they will spread slightly while baking.

Step 6: Bake the Rolls

Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until they’re golden brown on top.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy!

Let the rolls cool for a few minutes, then serve them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite dipping sauce.

• Salads – Serve alongside a fresh salad for a light lunch.

Tips for Success

• Adjust the Flour – If the dough is too sticky to shape, add a little more flour, but be careful not to overwork the dough.
• Add Flavor – For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder, herbs, or grated cheese to the dough.
• Serve Fresh – These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.

Storing & Reheating

• Refrigerate – Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat – Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to keep them soft and warm.
• Freeze – Freeze unbaked rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes.
