Use your favorite dried fruit to fill these easy breakfast rolls.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°.
Grease baking pan.
Place dried fuit in a small bowl and pour boiling water over until covered. Set aside.
Place cottage cheese, sugar, buttermilk, 4 tablespoons of melted butter and almonds in a food processor. Process until smooth.
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Pulse until dough clumps similar to biscuit dough. (8-10 pulses). The dough should be sticky.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times or until dough is smooth. Do not overwork.
Using a rolling pin, roll out dough to make a 12x15 rectangle.
Brush surface with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
Combine sugar, cinnamon and cloves together and sprinkle over the dough and pat into the dough.
Drain the fruit and pat dry with paper towels.
Distribute the fruit over the sugared dough.
Starting on the long edge of the dough, roll the dough up jelly roll fashion.
Pinch the edge to seal leaving both ends open.
Cut the dough into 12 equal sized rolls.
Set rolls, cut side up showing the spiral design, in the baking pan.
Bake on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from pan one at a time and place onto a wire rack that is positioned over waxed paper.
Make the glaze in a small mixing bowl, mixing ingredients together until smooth and thick.
Adjust consistency with a few drops of buttermilk if needed.
Drizzle over rolls allowing the glaze to drip off the edges. The waxed paper will catch any drips.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
