Tools You’ll Need

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 grease it lightly with cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, salt, baking powder, and garlic powder (if using).
Stir until smooth and well-combined.
Add the flour and mix until just combined. You should have a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Stir in the softened butter and egg, and mix again until smooth. If you’re using herbs, fold them in at this stage.
Step 3: Shape the Rolls
Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle or a rough square about ½ inch thick.
Cut the dough into small squares or use a biscuit cutter to cut into round shapes. Aim for about 12 rolls, depending on your desired size.
Step 4: Bake the Rolls
Place the rolls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These rolls are perfect fresh out of the oven with a little butter, or served alongside any meal.
Serving Suggestions
- With Soup or Stew – These rolls are perfect for dipping into your favorite soup or stew.
- With Butter or Jam – Serve with a spread of butter or your favorite jam for a tasty treat.
- As a Side Dish – Pair with any protein or salad for a complete meal.
