Soft, fluffy cottage cheese bread with a hint of tang! My easy recipe creates a moist, tender loaf that's perfect for sandwiches or toasting.

Ingredients
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- ½ cup warm water 110°F
- 1 cup cottage cheese room temperature and mashed
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups bread flour or 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, adding more if needed
Optional:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or parmesan
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the yeast, honey, and warm water. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. If no bubbles form, discard and start again with fresh yeast.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed/blended cottage cheese, beaten egg, melted butter, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the activated yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer: use the dough hook on medium speed for 6 minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size. (For a warm environment, place in a switched-off oven with the light on.)
- Punch down the dough, shape it into a smooth log, and place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover lightly and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, or until the dough puffs up over the pan’s edge.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Note: The internal temperature should read 190–200°F when fully baked.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- STORAGE/SHELF LIFE
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before slicing.
- Toast slices or warm in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes to refresh the texture.
- TIPS
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer, more tender loaf.
- Blend or mash the cottage cheese for a smooth texture.
- For a lighter loaf, use bread flour. If using all-purpose, start with 2 ¾ cups and add more as needed.
- If the dough is too sticky, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time until manageable.
- For extra flavor, add chopped fresh herbs or a pinch of garlic powder.
