Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)2 cups 4% cottage cheese2 large eggs, room temperature1/4 cup sugar2 teaspoons salt1/2 teaspoon baking soda4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a small saucepan, heat cottage cheese to 110°-115°. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, salt, baking soda and 2 cups flour to yeast mixture. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough (dough will be sticky).

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 30 pieces. Shape each piece into a roll. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.
