Quick Cottage Cheese Buns
Description
Quick Cottage Cheese Buns rely on small curd cottage cheese combined with eggs, sugar, flour, and leavening agents like baking powder and baking soda activated by vinegar to form the dough. The dough is blended thoroughly and divided into 24 pieces before shaping into rounds. Brushing the tops with egg and sprinkling sugar helps form a golden, lightly crisp top during the 20-minute bake at 350 °F. The resulting buns have a soft, dense crumb distinct from traditional yeasted breads.
The buns can be served as a quick bread option with butter, jam, or alongside meals needing a soft roll. Since they do not have yeast, they work well when you want a faster bread without rising time.
The dough is sticky to work with, so flouring the surface is important during shaping. Leftovers should be stored sealed at room temperature to maintain freshness.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup cottage cheese (small curd, full fat)
- 4 egg
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
- 4 cup flour
- 1 egg (to brush the tops)
- 1/4 cup sugar (to sprinkle to tops)
Instructions
- Combine together cottage cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Blend using a blender, mixer or a food processor.
- In a small bowl, combine baking soda with vinegar and add to the mixture. Continue by adding baking powder and flour.
- Flour the work area well, as the dough will turn out sticky. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces.
- Form round shapes out of each piece, placing them apart on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg and sprinkle some sugar.
- Bake buns at 350 °F for 20 minutes until they become golden brown. Let them cool to room temperature before serving. Keep the remaining portion fresh, by sealing them in an airtight container.
Notes
- The buns have a tender texture different from chewy yeast breads.
- Use flour generously when shaping as the dough will be sticky.
- Store buns in an airtight container to keep them fresh after baking.
