Cottage cheese buns

I received a wonderful Christmas package from a very dear internet friend, in which, among so many other things, there was a self-sewn reversible bread basket. So I just had to bake rolls straight away, especially for this bread basket!


Ingredients for 6 rolls

30 g butter
500 ml milk
1 tsp coarse sea salt
1 tsp sugar
3 Tbsp flax seeds
100 g cottage cheese
1 tsp dried thyme
350 g wholemeal flour for the first dough
300 g wholemeal flour for ready kneading

1 small egg for brushing
1 tsp dried thyme for sprinkling


Preparation


Heat milk and butter in a large pot.

Then pour the mixture into a large bowl...

...add salt and sugar, lei seeds, cottage cheese, thyme and half of the wholemeal flour and mix everything thoroughly.

Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 3/4 hour.

Then knead in the remaining flour in portions until a smooth dough is formed.

Then form rolls from the dough, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper or in roll tins, cover again and let them rise for about 1/4 hour.

Then preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

Then whisk the egg and brush it on the rolls...

...and sprinkle with some dried thyme.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 20 to 30 minutes until the rolls are golden brown.

The rolls were very tasty, but extremely filling!

Maybe next time I'll make the rolls a little smaller so they aren't quite as bulky.
