๐Ÿง€ Cheesy Cottage Cheese Bread is a quick and simple recipe with just two main ingredients, perfect for a nutritious, high-protein snack or side.
๐Ÿž This bread features a chewy texture with a slightly crispy crust, making it a delightful addition to any meal or a tasty standalone treat.

  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (varies by slice size) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup full-fat small curd cottage cheese (whole milk cottage cheese recommended; low fat or fat-free will work)

1 cup self-rising flour (regular or bread flour can be substituted if baking powder and salt are added separately)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for topping; alternatives such as mozzarella, Monterey jack, or parmesan are possible)

Garlic powder

Italian seasoning

Fresh herbs mixed into the dough

Instructions

1-Preparation and Mixing: To prepare, preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and cottage cheese, mixing with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball. Lightly flour your hands if needed to shape it. The dough might seem slightly sticky at first, but this is perfectly normal. The moisture from the cottage cheese will create a tender, chewy texture once baked.

2-Shaping and Baking: Roll the dough out on a parchment-lined baking sheet into a large rectangle using a floured rolling pin. Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the bread turns golden brown and is firm in the center. The bread will have a slightly crispy exterior with a soft, chewy interior.

Notes

๐Ÿง€ Blending the cottage cheese is optional; curds melt during baking and add texture.
๐Ÿฅ› Using full-fat small curd cottage cheese gives the best flavor and texture.
๐ŸŒพ Self-rising gluten-free flour may substitute regular flour; almond flour is not recommended.
