This recipe, “Quick Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Rolls,” offers a unique and surprisingly easy twist on classic cinnamon rolls, using cottage cheese as a key ingredient in the dough.
Ingredients
Dough:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup oil
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 4 ¼ cups flour (plus more for dusting)
Filling:
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 ½ – 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup honey
Instructions
-
Prepare the Oven and Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). While the oven is heating, grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
-
Blend the Dough Ingredients: In a blender, add the cottage cheese and blend it until smooth. Then, add the sugar, eggs, oil, and milk, blending again until the mixture is completely smooth. Once blended, pour the mixture into a large bowl.
-
Combine the Dry Ingredients: Add the baking powder to the cottage cheese mixture and stir to combine. Gradually add the flour a little at a time, mixing until the dough becomes smooth.
-
Prepare the Dough and Filling: Flour your work surface and stretch the dough out into a large rectangle. In another bowl, prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
-
Assemble the Rolls: Melt the butter and brush it over the stretched dough. Drizzle the honey over the butter evenly. Then, sprinkle the prepared sugar and cinnamon mixture over the entire surface of the dough.
-
Roll and Bake: Carefully roll the dough up tightly from one end to the other, forming a log. Cut the rolled dough into 1 to 1 ½ inch slices and place them in the greased baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm straight out of the oven for a delicious treat!
