Quick Cottage Cheese Buns

Quick Cottage Cheese Buns are soft, flavorful, and easy-to-make buns with a tender interior and a golden crust.

They require no yeast and bake quickly, providing a versatile, kid-friendly, and delicious treat.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 buns

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Cottage Cheese – 1 cup
  • All-Purpose Flour – 1 1/2 cups
  • Baking Powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Sugar – 1 tablespoon
  • Egg – 1 large
  • Butter (melted) – 2 tablespoons
  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Mix Wet Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg, and melted butter until smooth and creamy, which forms the base for soft buns.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to ensure even distribution and a light, consistent texture.
  3. Bring the Dough Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet cottage cheese mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir gently until just combined; the dough will be slightly sticky but cohesive enough to shape.
  4. Shape the Buns: Lightly flour your hands and work surface. Scoop dough portions roughly the size of golf balls and shape into rounds. Place them spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes. The buns are done when their tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Transfer the buns to a wire rack and let them cool slightly before serving. This helps the texture to set and makes handling easier.

Notes

  • Use cottage cheese and eggs at room temperature for a smoother dough consistency.
  • Do not overmix the dough; stir only until ingredients are just combined to maintain tenderness.
  • Ensure your oven temperature is accurate for even baking and to avoid dryness.
  • Use fresh baking powder to guarantee a good rise and fluffiness of the buns.
  • Optionally, brush tops with egg wash or milk before baking for a shiny, golden finish.
