Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 2% cottage cheese 226g, strained 10 minutes if loose
  • 1 cup self-rising flour 120g, or 1 cup all-purpose + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour 60g
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husk 12g by weight
  • 1 large egg beaten, for the wash
  • 2 tsp everything seasoning or sesame and poppy alone for less sodium

Method
 

  1. Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth, 30 to 45 seconds. Stop when no curds are visible.
  2. Whisk the self-rising flour, whole wheat flour and psyllium husk together in a bowl.
  3. Pour in the blended cottage cheese and stir with a spatula until it comes together into a shaggy dough.
  4. Rest 5 minutes. Do not add flour yet, the psyllium is still absorbing water.
  5. Knead 1 to 2 minutes on a lightly floured surface, just until smooth.
  6. Divide into 4 equal pieces, roughly 105g each.
  7. Roll each piece into an 8 inch rope, wrap into a ring and pinch the ends together firmly.
  8. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with seasoning.
  9. Bake at 375F for 25 minutes, or air fry at 350F for 12 to 14 minutes, flipping at 8 minutes.

Notes

Nutrition figures are calculated estimates from USDA component data, not laboratory analysis. Strain the cottage cheese rather than adding flour if the dough is sticky.
