Ingredients
For the Bread Batter:
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups almond flour (blanched and finely ground)
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for savory flavor)
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
Optional Add-ins:
¼ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or rosemary
1 tablespoon sesame or sunflower seeds for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C)
Line your loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese and eggs
Whisk or beat with a hand mixer until mostly smooth—some small lumps are okay
Add the olive oil or melted butter and stir to combine
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using)
Mix until a thick batter forms
If you’re adding cheese or herbs, fold them in gently
Step 4: Fill the Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly
Sprinkle seeds or additional herbs on top, if using
Step 5: Bake the Bread
Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the center
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
Step 6: Slice and Enjoy
Once cool, slice into even pieces using a serrated knife
Serve plain, toasted, or with your favorite spreads
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and richness
Let the bread cool before slicing to avoid crumbling
Customize the flavor by adding Italian herbs, chili flakes, or even a bit of lemon zest
