Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1.5 cups Cottage cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 whole Egg yolk (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant dry yeast.

Step 2

Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combining the cottage cheese, parsley, green onions, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 7

Flatten each ball into a disc and place about 2 tablespoons of the cottage cheese filling in the center. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a roll.

Step 8

Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to make the egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Step 11

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the rolls from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
