Ingredients

1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup mashed potato flakes
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup Daisy 4% cottage cheese
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Sesame seeds, optional

Directions

In a bowl, combine the boiling water and potato flakes; mix well. Cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Beat in the sugar, salt, 1 egg and oil until blended. Stir cottage cheese into the potatoes; add to yeast mixture and mix well. Beat in 3 cups flour until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn dough 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 24 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place 3 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Beat remaining egg; brush over dough. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake at 350° for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.

I had my doubts about the cottage cheese in these, but they are light and delicious. I find I make these often. Great for burgers, sandwiches or with dinner.
