Cottage Wheat Rolls

(adapted from Company's Coming bread cookbook, which I highly recommend)


2 eggs
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 cups cottage cheese
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp molasses (or honey)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 pkgs/4 1/2 tsp instant yeast
1/2 tsp baking soda
2-3 cups whole wheat flour

Beat eggs in a large stand-up mixer. Beat in sugar, cheese, oil, molasses and salt. Add first amount of flour, yeast and baking soda, then gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 10 minutes or so, either by hand or in your mixer.

Place in a greased bowl, cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled-about an hour and a half or two hours.

Gently deflate, shape into 2 dozen buns. I push the dough into a rectangle the size of my cutting board, then use my pizza wheel to cut into little squares. Shape the little squares into balls/buns. Let rise until doubled; about an hour and a half.

Bake at 3775F for 10-12 minutes.

Delicious!
