Ingredients
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.
