Notes

For best texture, blend cottage cheese first to ensure smooth, fluffy loaf.

Do not overmix batter to avoid tough bread.

Use a sharp knife to create deep swirls for a beautiful cinnamon ribbon.

Let bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.

For deeper cinnamon flavor, let filling sit for 5 minutes before swirling.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Reheat in microwave for 15-20 seconds or toast for a crispier exterior.

Freezes well for up to 2 months; thaw overnight or reheat from frozen.
