Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional Add-ins
- Sprinkle of herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme)
- Garlic powder
- Shredded cheese
Instructions
- Blend everything: Add the cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil, baking powder, and salt to your blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps of cottage cheese remaining. This ensures an even texture and proper rise during baking.
- Pour and bake: Pour the blended mixture into a greased loaf pan, spreading evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The edges should begin to pull away from the pan.
- Cool and slice: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes to firm up. Then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing. Cooling helps the bread hold its shape and makes slicing easier.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best flavor and moist, tender crumb.
- Blend thoroughly until smooth for even baking and texture.
- Check the bread starting at 40 minutes to avoid drying out.
- Cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Store cooled bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freeze sliced bread with parchment between slices for easy thawing; reheat in toaster or oven.
- Optional herbs or cheese can be added for extra flavor and texture variety.
