Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for the richest flavor and best texture.
Do not overmix the dough to avoid a tougher bread; mix until just combined.
For a crispier crust, brush the top with a little olive oil or melted butter before baking.
Allow the bread to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing to help it set properly and prevent crumbling.
To make gluten-free, substitute a 1:1 gluten-free self-rising flour blend.
For extra flavor, mix in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs like oregano or rosemary, or add shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning on top before baking for crunch.
If using regular all-purpose flour, add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.25 teaspoon of salt per 1 cup of flour.
Low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese can be used, but may result in slightly less moist bread.
This bread can be made in an air fryer at 325°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.
Reheat slices in a toaster, toaster oven, or microwave.
