No-knead Rolls, Kolatches, and Cinnamon Rolls


  At the end of this post is a link to a blog with a good no-knead dough recipe. I was skeptical at first, but decided to try it anyway, and am very glad I did.
 You might need extra flour. I made them with oil and had to add a half a cup of extra flour to be able to work with them. I made four rolls that were really good, but little sweet. And made the rest of the dough into cinnamon rolls and marmalade and cottage cheese kolatches. I've been having a craving for kolatches and this is a much smaller and easier dough recipe than my old one. The one I have makes 3 dozen when cut in half, and it was cut in half from the original recipe and uses a lot of different mixing bowls for the dough alone. This one used one bowl and made the four rolls, a dozen kolatchs and about 15 cinnamon rolls.

                      For Kolatches:

  I used some Marmalade from last year, but somehow it ended up losing it's sweetness after I caned it. (If have any idea why this would happen please tell me.) I added a little sugar to it. And made the cottage cheese filling by draining about three tablespoons of the cheese and mixing in a tablespoon of flour and some sugar to taste. Then I spooned some into an indention I made in the middle of a golf ball sized ball of dough using my thumb and forefinger. And added a teaspoon of marmalade because cheese and fruit kolatches are delicious. And don't forget the posypka (crumble topping). The recipe I have calls for 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour and 3Tablespoons butter to be mixed together and sprinkled on top before baking. I didn't want to make that much so I wing it the on the measurements.

         For the Cinnamon Rolls:

    Roll out half the dough and spread with soft butter. Then sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar, and chopped pecans (if using) . Roll the dough up and cut into one inch rolls.

             For Either:  

   Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until browned.

    You can freeze them before or after baking. If you freeze them before I recommend taking them out to rise the night before.
