COTTAGE CHEESE ROLLS
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!!

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!
COTTAGE CHEESE CINNAMON ROLLS
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325¹F.

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.

COTTAGE CHEESE CARAWAY ROLLS
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.

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.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your rolls turn out perfectly.
- Choosing the Right Cheese: Use fresh, high-quality cottage cheese for the best flavor and texture. Look for cottage cheese that is smooth and creamy, with no lumps or curds.
- Seasoning the Filling: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings for the cottage cheese filling. Try adding herbs like dill, chives, or parsley, or spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to develop its flavor and make it easier to work with. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but your rolls may not be as flaky.
- Rolling the Dough: When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a light touch. Over-rolling will make the dough tough.
- Baking the Rolls: Bake the rolls until they are golden brown and cooked through. The baking time will vary depending on the size of your rolls, so keep an eye on them and adjust the time accordingly.
