Very simple and tasty recipe - I followed Annacia's suggestion and used a bit less flour (3 cups) and it turned out lovely. Very light and toasts beautifully. Thank you!

This is one of Hub's favorite recipes; he's made it so many times, for a wide variety of gatherings. We really enjoy it at home, too! It's always so moist and flavorful. We're about to make another batch today. Thanks for sharing!

Nice flavor and texture! I was looking for something different and this is it. Do use only 3 cups of flour; the 3-3/4 is way too much. I used oil instead of butter. In case you're curious, the cottage cheese just kinda disappears. Got 6 large rolls and a small (8x4) loaf of bread. Thanks, Karen, for posting . . . Janet

I chose this recipe for 2 reasons, I was out of buns and I had cottage cheese to use up. I was afraid that 3 3/4 cups of flour sounded like a lot so I used 3 cups thinking that I'd add as much of the rest as it needed once it was mixed and I could see how wet it was. I didn't add another pinch and the bread turned out very well indeed. I used fat free cottage cheese, 1/4 cup of egg white, 1 tbsp light margarine, a generous 2 tbsp of dried chives and added a generous tbsp of dried onion and Splenda for the sugar. The recipe made 8 hamburger sized buns that are lovely. They are moist, fluffy and scrumptious. :D
