COTTAGE CHEESE CINNAMON ROLLS



Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Rolls image

Sorry everyone, it looks like the recipe was incomplete. I have fixed the errors and apologize! This is not a super light and fluffy cinnamon roll and is more dense since it does not rise but it is a good alternative if you aren't interested in using yeast. I found this in "Teens Cook" when I was searching for recipes my 13 year old son could make and the recipe stuck out so I have renamed them accordingly because I thought the addition of the cottage cheese to be so interesting. Yeast is something that is one of those cooking taboos for me so this is a great recipe that doesn't require rising. I chose not to invert the pan but either way the results are very good. Add any kind of nuts you like if you desire.

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons baking powder
4 1/4 cups flour, divided and more
flour, for dusting
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325¹F.
  • Lightly spray the bottom and sides of a 13x9 baking pan.
  • Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, oil, and milk and puree till smooth. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the baking powder. Add 3 1/2 cups of the flour and stir until the mixture forms a dough. Using your hands, add the remaining 3/4 cup flour a little at a time by sprinkling a little flour over the dough and folding the dough over to mix it in . Repeat this process until the dough is smooth and not sticky. (You may not need all the flour.).
  • Spread a thin layer of flour on a flat work surface and roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 20-25 inches.
  • To prepare the filling: Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt the butter and brush over the entire surface of the dough. Drizzle the honey over the butter, then sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the dough. Starting on the longer side, carefully roll up the dough as tightly as possible.
  • Using a serrated knife, cut the roll into 1 1/4 inch thick slices with a sawing motion. Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until done.
  • Remove from oven, run an knife around the edges, and invert to a serving platter if desired.

THE FASTEST CINNAMON ROLLS

Categories     dessert

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup dried cherries, blueberries, cranberries, golden raisins, or chopped prunes
Boiling water to cover
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cultured buttermilk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 tablespoons for brushing
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 to 4 teaspoons cold cultured buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square or round baking pan. Set aside. Place the dried fruit in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over. Cover and set aside.
  • Place the cottage cheese, sugar, buttermilk, 4 tablespoons melted butter, and vanilla in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the workbowl and pulse until the dough clumps like a biscuit dough, 8 to 10 pulses. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently, folding the dough over and pushing it away from you 4 to 5 times, until the dough is smooth. Do not overwork the dough. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to make a 12 by 15-inch rectangle. Brush the entire surface with the 2 tablespoons melted butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border around all the edges.
  • To make the filling, combine the sugars, cinnamon, allspice and cloves in a medium bowl and sprinkle over the surface of the dough. Pat to press the sugar into the surface. Drain the dried fruit and pat dry with a paper towel. Distribute the fruit over the sugar mixture.
  • Starting at the long edge, roll up the dough jelly-roll fashion. Pinch the seam to seal, leaving the ends open. With a sharp knife, cut the roll into 12 equal pieces. Set the rolls cut side up, showing the spiral design, in the baking pan.
  • Place immediately on the center rack of the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove the pan from the oven and run a metal spatula around the edges of the rolls. Lift the rolls out of the pan one at a time, and place them right side up on a wire rack positioned over a plate or a piece of waxed paper.
  • To glaze, place the ingredients for the icing in a small bowl or 2-cup liquid measuring cup (the spout makes pouring easy). Using a small wire whisk, beat until smooth and thick, pourable consistency. Adjust the consistency with additional drops of buttermilk. Drizzle the icing in a zigzag pattern over each roll. Let the rolls stand for at least 15 minutes before serving.

COTTAGE CHEESE ROLLS



Cottage Cheese Rolls image

I grew up with this Mennonite dessert and it is a family favorite that we traditionally always have at Christmas. The rolls by themselves are simple and perhaps unimpressive, but once you add the cinnamon icing, they are to DIE FOR!!

Provided by Jacquie Engbrecht

Categories     Breads

Time 50m

Yield 48 rolls, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (the wet kind, not dry)
1 cup margarine (softened)
2 cups flour
1 pinch salt
1 cup icing sugar
4 tablespoons milk
3 dashes cinnamon

Steps:

  • Blend together cottage cheese, margarine, flour & salt (I often use a potato masher for this). Form into a ball and chill dough overnight in a sealed container. (This is so the dough isn't so goopy and sticky & makes it easier to handle and roll out later).
  • Divide into four parts. Take one part at a time and roll dough into a circle on a lightly floured surface (about 10-12 inches in diameter). Cut into 12 wedges and roll up each wedge (start with large end) to form croissant shape.
  • Bake at 350F for approximately 20 minutes or until you notice nice golden brown spots forming (this is the cottage cheese). Alternatively, you can freeze them and bake them at another time. Personally, I find that I actually like them better when they've been frozen. For some reason, when you make them fresh, they turn out a little differently. You also don't really need to thaw them out before baking for more than a few minutes.
  • Frost with icing. Now, the icing is actually the part that makes these so good! The rolls themselves are not sweet at all and really only transform into a dessert once the icing is added. The icing happens to also be one of those things that I don't have a recipe for and sort of just "wing it". It's maybe roughly a cup of icing sugar, maybe 4 tablespoons of milk, and several dashes of cinnamon. You can experiment with the amounts until you get something you're happy with.
  • These are best served fresh and warm out of the oven and I like them with a nice cold glass of milk!

Tips:

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the cinnamon sugar filling, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
  • To make the glaze, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar with 1/4 cup of milk. Add more milk if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • To prevent the rolls from sticking to the baking sheet, grease it with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
