Cottage Cheese Bread Recipe


  • Author: lacen tagul

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon salt

1 packet (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast

¼ cup warm water

Optional Add-ins:

1 tablespoon garlic powder (for a savory twist)

1 teaspoon honey (for a hint of sweetness)

2 tablespoons fresh herbs like dill or parsley


Instructions

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Activating the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it rest for 5 minutes until frothy.

Mixing Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix cottage cheese, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the activated yeast mixture and flour, stirring until combined.

Kneading the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook.

First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shaping and Second Rise: Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in the prepared pan. Let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Baking: Bake for 30–35 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Cooling: Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Ensure your yeast is fresh for proper activation.

Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing.

Avoid over-kneading to prevent a dense loaf.

Check the bread’s internal temperature; it should reach 190°F (88°C) when done.
