High Protein Bread (Oat Sandwich Rolls)
Description
These High Protein Bread rolls use oat flour combined with baking powder and salt to create a quick-leavened dough that does not rely on yeast. The inclusion of cottage cheese contributes moisture and increases the protein content, while the egg helps bind the dough and improve structure. Kneading the mixture until the dough resembles playdoh develops a cohesive texture suitable for rolling and shaping.
Dividing the dough into four portions and flattening into rounds before baking results in individual rolls with a tender crumb that hold together well. Egg wash applied prior to baking promotes browning and a light crust, and the optional everything bagel seasoning adds savory notes and a crunchy topping. Baking at 375°F until golden ensures a satisfying crust without dryness.
The rolls cool sufficiently before slicing to prevent tearing or crumbling. Made without yeast, these rolls are simpler and faster while still delivering a wholesome texture ideal for sandwiches or as a bread side. They are particularly useful for an oat-based bread alternative with added protein from dairy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour (plus more for dusting if needed*)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (make sure it's not expired or it won't rise)
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (use less if using table salt)
- 1 cup cottage cheese I like Good Culture drained of any whey at the top, low-fat, classic
- 1 egg beaten (whole egg works fine too, white
- everything bagel seasoning (sesame, etc for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Place parchment paper or a silicone mat on a baking sheet. If using parchment paper, spray with oil to avoid sticking.
- Preheat the air fryer 280F degrees. Transfer in batches without overcrowding and bake 15 to 16 minutes, or until golden. No need to turn. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well.
- Add the cottage cheese, mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.
- Knead in the bowl turning until completely smooth and has the texture of playdoh, about 20 turns.
- Divide into 4 equal balls.
- Flatten into rounds and transfer to the baking sheet.
- Top with egg wash and seasoning. Bake on the top rack of the oven for 22 to 25 minutes.
- Let cool at least 15 minutes before slicing open.
Notes
- Use oat flour labeled gluten-free if you require a gluten-free product, as not all oat flours guarantee this.
- Fat-free cottage cheese can be used to reduce calories and points in diets.
- Baking powder must be fresh to ensure proper rise; expired baking powder will result in dense rolls.
