Preparation method

Ingredients overview

200 g fresh cottage cheese
100 g whole rye flour
1 chicken egg
25 g white sesame seeds
1 teaspoon psyllium husks
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
1 pinch iodized table salt

In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the rye flour, sesame seeds (reserve a few for decoration), psyllium husks, baking powder, Herbs de Provence, and salt. Mix the composition well until you get a consistent dough. Place the dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the psyllium fibers to absorb moisture.

After the dough has rested, start forming the buns. Moisten your hands with water before shaping each bun to prevent the dough from sticking. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and form round balls. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds on top.

Place the tray in the preheated oven at 180°C and bake the buns for about 40 minutes, until golden and they pass the toothpick test. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Chef's tip

For an even fluffier texture, you can leave the dough in the refrigerator overnight. If you don't have Herbs de Provence, you can use dried thyme or rosemary. The buns stay fresh in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
