Easy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

Easy cottage cheese cl rolls remind me of the first time I decided to experiment with adding more protein into my baking because I wanted something fluffy and satisfying without feeling heavy so I reached for cottage cheese and hoped for the best. I still remember peeking into the oven and watching them puff up beautifully and I couldn’t wait to break one open to see if they were as soft and airy as they looked and they were even better than I imagined because the inside was so tender and the top was perfectly golden.

Now, these rolls have become my favorite quick bake for mornings when I want to surprise my family or for afternoons when I crave something warm and comforting because they’re easy to make and always bring big smiles. I love how the mild flavor of the cottage cheese makes them versatile so they work just as well with sweet jam as they do with a bit of savory butter or cream cheese making them a true kitchen staple I keep coming back to.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• All-purpose flour – Provides the structure and softness to the rolls.
• Cottage cheese – Adds creaminess, extra moisture, and a boost of protein.
• Eggs – Help bind the dough and give a rich texture.
• Baking powder – Gives the rolls a lovely rise and fluffiness.
• Sugar – Adds a light touch of sweetness to balance the cheese.
• Salt – Enhances and balances all the flavors.
• Butter – Helps keep the rolls tender and adds a buttery flavor.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls – To combine the wet and dry ingredients easily.
• Whisk – For mixing eggs and cottage cheese until smooth.
• Spatula – To fold everything together without overmixing.
• Measuring cups and spoons – To keep all ingredients accurate.
• Baking sheet – Perfect for arranging the rolls and baking them evenly.
• Parchment paper – Prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
• Cooling rack – So the rolls stay nice and airy while cooling.

Instructions

Step 1

I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to get ready.

Step 2

In a large bowl, I whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

In another bowl, I combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt, making sure they’re evenly mixed.

Step 4

I gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing until just combined so the rolls stay light and fluffy.

Step 5

I gently shape the dough into small mounds using a spoon or my hands and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

I brush the tops lightly with melted butter to help them brown beautifully while baking.

Step 7

I bake the rolls for about 20 to 25 minutes until they’re golden brown on top and fluffy inside.

Step 8

I let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.

Tips

If you want an extra golden finish, I recommend brushing the rolls twice with butter — once before baking and once immediately after they come out of the oven. You can also mix in fresh herbs like chives or dill for a savory twist, or add a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top if you like a hint of sweetness.

Ways to Serve

I love serving these easy cottage cheese cl rolls warm with a spread of butter and honey or berry jam for a sweet breakfast treat. They also pair wonderfully with a bowl of soup or salad for a light lunch. You can even slice them and use them as a base for mini sandwiches.
