Can I use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese?

Yes! Plain Greek yogurt can be substituted in a 1:1 ratio. However, Greek yogurt is slightly more acidic, which gives the rolls a mild sourdough-like tang.

Why are my rolls dense instead of fluffy?

Dense rolls are usually caused by over-measuring the flour or over-kneading the dough. For the most accurate measurement, fluff your flour with a spoon, scoop it into the measuring cup, and level it off with a knife.

Can I make these rolls in an Air Fryer?

Absolutly. Place the shaped dough balls on parchment paper inside the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 12–14 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

Scale

cup Cottage Cheese (4% Whole Milk)

1 cup Self-Rising Flour

1 Egg (beaten)

1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning

1 tablespoon Melted Garlic Butter

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Cottage Cheese for a Smooth Texture

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour 1 cup of cottage cheese into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until completely smooth and creamy, eliminating all curds.

Chef’s Tip: Blending the cottage cheese is the secret to getting a smooth, dough-like texture without any visible lumps or pockets of moisture.

Step 2: Combine and Form the Dough

In a medium mixing bowl, add the blended cottage cheese and the self-rising flour. Stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Use clean hands to gently knead the dough directly in the bowl for 30–45 seconds until it comes together into a cohesive, pliable ball. If the dough feels overly sticky, dust your hands with a teaspoon of flour.

Do not overmix, or the rolls will become tough.

Step 3: Divide and Shape into Dinner Rolls

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions for large sandwich rolls, or 6 equal portions for standard dinner rolls. Roll each portion between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each roll.

Shape the dough into 4 portions for perfectly uniform dinner rolls.

Actionable Tip: For a golden, glossy sheen, lightly brush the tops of the rolls with a beaten egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds or sea salt.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake on the center rack for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when gently tapped on the bottom. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before serving warm
