Ingredients
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup water lukewarm
- 1 cup egg whites about 5-6 egg whites
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lukewarm water and yeast. Cover and set aside for 5-10 minutes until the mixture foams.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese and egg whites. Blend until perfectly smooth.
- Add the egg white mixture to the bowl with the yeast.
- Add the flour and salt and knead by hand until the dough is elastic, about 10 minutes or so. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise in a warm spot for an hour.
- After rising, place the dough onto a floured work surface. Stretch the dough into a rectangular shape, then roll it into a log.
- Place the loaf seam side down into an oiled bread pan and let it rise again for 30 minutes. During this time, preheat the oven to 400°F. Slit the loaf in the center with a sharp knife or bread lame.
- Bake the loaf about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the bread rest for 5 minutes in the pan. Then, tip it out onto a cooling rack and let it rest for 30 minutes before cutting in. Enjoy!
