Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Loaf pan or baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ½ tsp salt)
  • 1½ cups cottage cheese (drained if watery)

Instructions
 

  • Mix dough: In a bowl, combine flour and cottage cheese. Stir until a dough forms.
  • Knead lightly: Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes. Do not overmix.
  • Shape loaf: Form into a loaf shape and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or loaf pan.
  • Bake: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and firm.
  • Cool: Let bread cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing to set the crumb.
  • Serve: Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or as sandwich bread.

Notes

  • Flour tip: Self-rising flour simplifies the recipe; if using all-purpose, add baking powder and salt.
  • Cottage cheese: Blend for smoother texture or leave curds for rustic crumb.
  • Variations: Add herbs, shredded cheese, or cinnamon for flavor twists.
  • Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days; freeze slices for 1 month. Reheat in oven or toaster for best texture.
  • Serving suggestion: Perfect with soups, salads, or toasted for breakfast spreads.
