These Quick Cottage Cheese Buns are soft, fluffy, and packed with protein! The cottage cheese adds a subtle tang and keeps the buns moist, making them perfect for breakfast, snacks, or as a side with soups and salads. Best of all, they come together in no time and require no yeast or rising time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250 g) cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or yogurt (as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

For Topping (Optional):

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or grated cheese for garnish

Instructions

🍞 Prepare the Dough:

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and olive oil or melted butter.
    • Mix until smooth.

  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

  4. Form the Dough:

    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
    • If the dough is too dry, add milk or yogurt 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough is workable but not sticky.

🥯 Shape and Bake the Buns:

  1. Shape the Buns:

    • Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions.
    • Roll each portion into a ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  2. Add Toppings:

    • Brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg for a shiny finish.
    • Sprinkle with seeds or grated cheese if desired.

  3. Bake:

    • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

⏲️ Cool and Serve:

  1. Cooling Tip:

    • Let the buns cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

  2. Serving Suggestions:

    • Enjoy warm with butter, cream cheese, or as a base for sandwiches.

Notes

  • Make It Savory: Add 1 teaspoon of dried herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for a herbed flavor.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing Tip: These buns freeze well. Let them cool completely, then freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
