Soft Flaxseed Cottage Cheese Bread Rolls That Slice and Toast Well
Flaxseed cottage cheese rolls I make for soup, eggs, and sandwiches
When I want something bready that feels real but does not turn into a whole project, I make these flaxseed cottage cheese bread rolls.
They are soft, filling, and sturdy enough to slice, but still easy enough that I actually make them on a regular day. This is the kind of bread I reach for when dinner is soup, eggs, or something saucy that clearly wants a side.
These bread rolls are high protein, keto, and gluten-free, but that is not why I make them. I make them because they behave like food I can live with. They hold butter. They work for sandwiches. They do not crumble into sadness halfway through eating.
The cottage cheese gives them softness and weight without making them dense. The flaxseed adds structure and a slightly nutty flavor that makes them feel more bread-like than most low carb rolls.
Most days, I do not shape these perfectly. I divide the dough, form rough rounds, and move on. They still bake up golden and solid, and that is good enough for me.
