Description

This Cottage Cheese Bread recipe offers a soft, moist, and slightly tangy loaf that’s perfect for sandwiches or toasting. Made with simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, baking powder, milk, and creamy cottage cheese, it bakes into a comforting bread with a tender crumb. Ideal for those seeking homemade bread without yeast, this loaf is easy to prepare and baked until golden with a delicate crust.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk (any kind)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% fat preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt. Then, sift the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into another large bowl to ensure a light and lump-free base.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk and cottage cheese to the sifted dry ingredients. Gently stir using a spatula just until combined. The dough should be thick, sticky, but still spreadable — avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  4. Transfer to Pan: Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Use the spatula to level the surface evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  5. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 70 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with only a few crumbs attached. If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the loaf with foil or parchment paper to prevent burning.
  6. Cool the Bread: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or for about an hour before slicing. This helps the bread set and slice cleanly.
  7. Slice and Serve: Use a serrated knife to cut the loaf into 10 slices. Enjoy the bread as is, toasted with your favorite toppings, or used to make delicious sandwiches.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the bread wrapped in a linen towel in a cool, dry place for up to 2 days. Afterward, transfer it to an airtight container to maintain freshness for an additional 2 days.
  • Freezing: This bread can be frozen for longer storage. Slice it before freezing and wrap in plastic wrap and foil or store in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw slices at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
