1
To prepare the dough: Preheat the oven to 325F.
-
2
Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
-
3
Add the sugar, eggs, oil, and milk and puree until smooth.
-
4
Pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the baking powder.
-
5
Add 3 1/2 cups of the flour and stir until the mixture forms a dough.
-
6
Using your hands, add the remaining 3/4 cup of flour a little at a time by sprinkling a little flour over the dough and folding the dough over to mix it in.
-
7
Repeat this process until the dough is smooth and not sticky.
-
8
(You may not need all of the flour.)
-
9
Spread a thin layer of flour on a flat work surface and roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 20 by 25 inches.
-
10
To prepare the filling: Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
-
11
Melt the butter and brush over the entire surface of the dough.
-
12
Drizzle the honey over the butter, then sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
-
13
Starting on the longer side, carefully roll up the dough as tightly as possible.
-
14
Lightly butter or spray the bottom and sides of a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
-
15
Using a serrated knife, cut the roll into 1 1/4-inch-thick slices with a sawing motion.
-
16
If you press down while cutting the dough it will smash together and lose the roll effect.
-
17
Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until done.
-
18
(To check for doneness, pull up slightly on the center of one of the rolls in the middle of the pan.
-
19
The dough should pull apart.
-
20
If it stretches, it needs to cook more.)
-
21
Remove the pan from the oven, run a knife around the edges to loosen the cinnamon rolls, and invert the pan onto a serving platter.
