Description
A moist, fluffy, and nutrient-dense bread recipe that uses cottage cheese to boost protein content without sacrificing flavor.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs
2 egg whites
3 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup butter
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, egg whites, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well-combined.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
Step 6: Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to ensure the best texture.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best flavor and a moist crumb. Ensure your eggs are at room temperature.
