NOTES

  • Blend the cottage cheese until smooth – this ensures an even texture and prevents curd pockets in the loaf.
  • Batter should be thick, not runny – if too loose, the bread won’t hold structure.
  • Do not overmix – overmixing makes the loaf dense instead of soft.
  • Bake until fully set – cottage cheese breads can look done outside but stay soft inside.
  • Let cool completely before slicing – cutting early traps steam and makes the crumb gummy.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for best results – low-fat versions bake up drier.
  • Don’t overload with mix-ins – too many nuts or chips will weigh the loaf down.
  • Servings: 12 slices (1 loaf – 10×4 inch / 25×10 cm)
