Description
A quick and simple high-protein bread made with just cottage cheese and self-rising flour. This soft, fluffy loaf bakes with a lightly golden crust and mild flavor, making it perfect for toast, sandwiches, or a healthy side for soups and salads.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup self-rising flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and self-rising flour.
- Mix until a soft dough forms. The dough may appear slightly sticky at first.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
- Shape the dough into a small loaf or divide it into smaller rolls.
- Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the bread feels firm.
- Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Add a pinch of salt or garlic powder for extra savory flavor.
- Mix in shredded mozzarella or parmesan for a cheesy variation.
- Stir in dried oregano, basil, or Italian seasoning for an herbed version.
- For a sweet variation, add a drizzle of honey or a pinch of cinnamon.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat slices in a toaster or warm oven to restore crispness.
- Slices can be frozen in a sealed bag for up to 2 months and toasted directly from frozen.
