3cups (339 g)pre-shredded low moisture part skim mozzarella cheese
6tbsp (75 g)small curds 4% cottage cheese
2 1/4cups (228 g)superfine blanched almond flour
4largeeggs, divided
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cottage cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between with a silicone spatula, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt on the stovetop over low heat.
Stir the almond flour into the melted cheese mixture until mostly combined. It’s best to use your hands to squeeze and knead to get it incorporated. If you are using your hands, I recommend wearing food safe gloves because the cheese mixture is quite warm.
Allow the mixture to cool until it is no longer hot and then add 3 eggs (reserving the final egg for egg wash) and mix well until a cohesive dough forms. Again, this works best using your hands to help squeeze and knead. It will seem like the eggs don’t want to be incorporated into the dough but just keep kneading and trust the process. The end result should be a uniform dough.
Scoop 1/4 cup dough and roll into a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1.5 to 2 inches apart.
Whisk the remaining egg in a small bowl and brush the surface of the rolls with egg wash.
Bake rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown. When you apply light pressure to the surface of the rolls, they should also bounce back.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. These rolls are best served warm while the rolls are very soft. The texture becomes more dense when cooled so I recommend reheating before serving if the rolls have fully cooled. Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Make sure to use pre-shredded low moisture part skim mozzarella cheese. The dough will not come together with regular mozzarella cheese.
The recipe works best with 4% small curds cottage cheese. Small curds will melt easier and 4% has less moisture than low fat cottage cheese. I used Whole Foods cottage cheese.*
