Dill Rolls (low fat recipe)

So, this is absolutely new for me. For one, I rarely cook and for two I wasn't sure how to go about cooking and holding a camera, but it went ok, so I thought I'd share.

Dill Rolls - 88 calories, 5 g protein, 14 g carbohydrate, 1 g fat, 24 mg cholesterol, 171 mg sodium, 54 mg potassium

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons dillseed or caraway seed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg

lc3151



In a small bowl combine 1 cup of the flour and the yeast

lc3150



In a small saucepan heat and stir cottage cheese, water, sugar, dillseed (or caraway seed), and salt until warm. Recipe says 120-130 degrees, I did not use a thermometer, just guessed. Add to flour mixture along with the egg.

lc3152



Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.

lc3153



Add remaining flour, beat at low speed about 2 minutes or till nearly smooth. (I laugh at this photo, but there's room for improvement, lol)

lc3154



Cover batter and let rise in a warm place until double (about 45 minutes).

lc3155



Stir with a wooden spoon. Let rest for 5 minutes.

lc3156



Spray muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray - I was out so I skipped this step. The spoon the batter (somewhat) evenly into cups. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let batter rise till nearly double (about 30 minutes) - I did not notice this step until I was typing it now, so it apparently works just fine if you forget this step, lol.

Bake in 375 degree oven for 15-18 minutes or till golden. Serve warm. Makes 12 rolls/servings.

We had a couple of rolls with a salad. It was my first time making them and we thought they were very yummy!

  8. Yay!! Lisa is moving over to the world of food! Looks and sounds really yummy, and I think you did a great job! Food is a whole different area of photography isn't it - It's extremely challenging!
    I hope all is well in your world. I haven't been around much at all lately and that's not going to change over the next week. Thank you so much for the beautiful Christmas card! Unfortunately I won't be reciprocating this year, but let me wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas now! *Hugs* Martha
