2 Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bread Rolls
Ingredients
- 3 chigh protein cottage cheese
1%, see note before starting
- 3 cself-rising flour
see note before starting
Directions
- 1
Add the cottage cheese to a blender and blend until completely smooth. It should have a smooth, yogurt-like consistency when you are done.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour and the cottage cheese. Mix the ingredients with a spatula until a sticky dough forms.
- 3
Tightly cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge for at least 3 hours. You can let it rest up to 12 hours in the fridge.

About 20 minutes before baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Add a large, oven-safe cast iron skillet (or large baking dish) filled halfway with water to the bottom rack of the oven while it preheats. Adjust the rack that the bread will bake on to just above the bottom rack (You want the bread to bake as low in the oven as possible so the tops don’t get too dark too fast). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- 5
Generously flour a work surface with self-rising flour. Carefully turn the dough out onto the floured surface. The dough will be sticky, so you will need to use some flour on it.
- 6
Use a bench scraper or sharp knife to divide the dough into 12 equal portions. I like to weigh the dough to make sure all the rolls are the same size.
- 7
Shape each piece into a ball by pulling the edges to the center and pinching to seal. Place seam side down on your work surface and roll under your hand to create tension and form a round, taut ball.
- 8
Place the rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If adding egg wash finish, brush tops with egg white wash (see note section for more details).
- 9
Bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Let the rolls cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Store uneaten rolls in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer and reheat before serving.
