2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/3 cup plain nonfat yogurt

TOTAL TIME: about 1 hour, 35 minutes, including time for the dough to rise.

TIME TO PREPARE: 20 minutes

COOKING TIME: 12 to 15 minutes

EQUIPMENT: ovenproof griddle (optional)

 

A combination quick bread and yeast bread with the convenience of one and

the flavor of the other. Cottage cheese fortifies these rolls with

calcium, and makes them luscious and light.

 

In a small mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water, about 1 minute.

 

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose

flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda with a long-tined fork or a

wire whisk. In a food processor or blender, blend together the cottage

cheese, lemon juice, and yogurt until smooth.

 

Add the yeast mixture and the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture, and stir

until you have a stiff dough. Knead it in the bowl until Its smooth, about

3 minutes.

 

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and roll to a thickness of

about 1/2 inch. Cut it into rounds with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Gather

up the scraps of dough, if there are any, roll it out again, and cut more

rounds.

 

Transfer the rolls to an ungreased baking sheet or ovenproof

griddle. Cover with a cloth napkin or lightweight towel and let them rest

for 1 hour.

 

Meanwhile, heat the oven to 450F.

 

Bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve right away,

or cool on a wire rack.
