Cottage cheese rolls: A nutritious delight made easy
Beloved by dietitians and athletes, cottage cheese is a common breakfast ingredient, enjoyed not only by physically active individuals. It is often used on sandwiches or consumed as a snack, for instance, with honey and dried fruits. It tastes delightful in both savoury and sweet versions. Cottage cheese can also be used as the base for making delicious breakfast rolls.
Dreaming of fresh rolls straight from the oven? Contrary to popular belief, it's much simpler to make them at home. You can knead the cottage cheese dough in 5 minutes, and after 20 minutes, you'll take out delicious and soft rolls from the oven. This bread not only tastes wonderful but is also healthy.
Cottage cheese – For whom is it a high-protein product?
Cottage cheese is hugely popular with both athletes and those mindful of a healthy diet. Thanks to its high protein content, it is an ideal choice for physically active individuals who need building materials for muscle regeneration.
It is also perfect for the diet of older people and children, providing them with essential amino acids for growth and tissue repair. Cottage cheese is easy to digest, making it a suitable option for anyone seeking easily absorbable sources of protein in their everyday life.
Other valuable ingredients in the rolls
Flaxseed is another valuable ingredient enriching these rolls. The seeds are a rich source of fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans. Fibre supports the proper functioning of the digestive system, aiding digestion. Meanwhile, omega-3 fatty acids are essential for heart and brain health, and their regular consumption can help reduce inflammation in the body.
Moreover, the lignans found in flaxseed have antioxidant properties, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress. Adding flaxseed to the rolls makes them not only tasty but also beneficial to health.
