Cottage cheese rolls
Crispy, buttery and mouth watering cottage cheese rolls made by an old traditional recipe.
EQUIPMENT
- wooden rolling pin (or use an empty bottle instead)

- 2 baking sheets
- 1 sheet of parchment paper
INGREDIENTS
- 8 cups of flour
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups pizza ham
- 2 tbsp salt
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2.5 tsp instant/active dried yeast
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl (flour, yeast and sugar).
- Warm the milk and mix it in another bowl with oil and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix until getting a form of dough.
- Sprinkle some flour on a clean working surface and transfer the dough. Knead the dough until the dough become soft and elastic.
- Place the dough in a bowl sprinkled with some flour, cover it with a plastic wrap and a clean cloth or towel and let it rest in a warm place until it rise to the edge of the bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F or 180 C
- While the dough is resting, cut the pizza ham into small pieces and mix the eggs with cheese, adding some salt and seasoning to taste.
- Separate with a knife the dough into 3 same-sized pieces.
- Cut each of the piece into 4 separate same-sized pieces.
- From each of the four pieces make a ball and roll it out into a circle approximately 5 mm thick and 14-inch diameter.
- Divide each dough circle into 8 same-sized triangles.
- Fill the triangles with a piece of ham and 1/3 tbsp of cheese mixture.
- Roll the wider part of the each triangle to form a crescent rolls.
- When filling up the whole baking sheet, bake the rolls at 350 F or 180 C for 15-20 minutes till you notice a nice, golden color.
- While one sheet is baking, prepare another sheet of cottage cheese rolls.
- Enjoy! Cottage cheese rolls taste best when served hot.
NOTES
If you want your cheese rolls to be bigger, cut wider circles of the dough which will enable the triangles to be longer. You'll be able to roll it around more times.
There should be no draught in the kitchen while the dough is rising.
For best results, turn off the ventilator in the oven while baking.
Always prepare one 1/3 of the dough at a time; while one sheet of cottage cheese rolls is baking, prepare another one from the rest of the dough. The recipe is made for three sheets of cottage cheese rolls.
Serve your cheese rolls while still hot; they taste best when coming right out of the oven.
