COTTAGE CHEESE CARAWAY ROLLS



Cottage Cheese Caraway Rolls image

I wanted a tender roll that was solid enough to hold up as a sandwich roll. This seemed to fit the bill for me. The cottage cheese makes them nice and moist. They were perfect for cold roast pork sandwiches! The dough is a bit sticky when you work with it, but I think that's the secret to the texture. I mixed the ingredients in my food processor, then finished kneading by hand.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 ounce fresh yeast or 1/2 ounce active dry yeast
1 cup rye flour
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk (or enough for dough to form)
2 tablespoons caraway seeds

Steps:

  • Cut yeast and butter into flour, salt and sugar just as if you were making a pastry crust.
  • Blend in cottage cheese and eggs. (This is probably easier in a food processor or with a mixer). Gradually add the milk until the dough forms into a ball.
  • When the dough has come together, take it out of the bowl and finish kneading by hand. Add the caraway seeds so they distribute through the dough as you knead. It will be slightly sticky, but that's okay.
  • Put the dough into a lightly oiled or buttered bowl, cover with plastic or a damp towel and put in a warm place to rise.
  • After the dough has doubled in size, punch down and form into balls: I got a dozen large rolls from this recipe.
  • Put the rolls on baking sheets, cover with a damp towel and let rise until almost double in size.
  • Bake in a 375 degree oven until brown. 15 - 20 minutes.Tapping one on the bottom with your finger should give you a slightly "hollow" sound.

HONEY CARAWAY ROLLS



Honey Caraway Rolls image

These are so tasty. They are like a zippy cousin to rye bread but with the added sweetness of honey bread. These rolls are terrific with some butter and a pinch of salt hot out of the oven. If you can let them cool before devouring (the struggle is real), use them for anything from ham and cheese sandwiches to hummus and vegetable tartines.

Categories     appetizer

Time 4h

Yield 8 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 cup whole-milk cottage cheese
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Prepare the yeast: In a medium bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (between 110 to 120 degrees F). Set aside.
  • Make the dough: Oil a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the bread flour with the caraway, honey, molasses, salt and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix to blend. Stir in the cottage cheese and the egg. With the mixer on low speed, add the yeast mixture. Transfer the dough to the oiled bowl. (The oil will prevent the dough from sticking to the sides as it rises.) Cover with a towel and put in a warm place to double in volume, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Then gently push the air out of the dough. Cover and let rise again, 1 more hour.
  • Prepare the dough: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease two baking sheets with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Divide the dough into 8 even balls and place 4 each in a single layer on each baking sheet. Flatten the balls gently with your hand.
  • Bake the bread: Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Place the trays in the center of the oven and bake, undisturbed, 20 to 25 minutes. The tops should be light to medium brown. Remove from the oven. Cool at least 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh yeast for the best results. If using active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and give the rolls a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce gas, which will make the rolls light and fluffy.
  • Shape the dough into rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Let them rise for another 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the rolls warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.

Conclusion:

Caraway rolls are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with different fillings and toppings.
