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

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

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.

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

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)

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

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

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!
