Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 Large Whole Eggs
- 1 Cup Cottage Cheese (Full, Reduced, or Fat Free; preferably Low Sodium)
Optional Seasonings
- ¾ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- Oregano (for topping)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the cottage cheese and eggs into a food processor or blender. Include the garlic powder and Italian seasoning if using. Blend the mixture until completely smooth with no lumps for a consistent bread texture.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking.
- Pour & Shape: Pour the smooth batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to your desired shape and thickness using a spoon or spatula. Optionally, sprinkle oregano or other desired seasonings on top. For loaf-style bread, use a parchment-lined small baking pan instead.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cottage cheese bread for 30-35 minutes if spread thin on a baking sheet. If using a small baking pan for thicker bread, bake for approximately 50 minutes until golden brown and firm.
- Cool: Remove from the oven once golden and edges are set. Transfer the bread on parchment to a wire rack and let cool completely before peeling off or slicing. Cooling ensures the bread firms up and prevents tearing.
Notes
- Using low sodium cottage cheese helps control salt content.
- Blending until smooth is key to avoid grainy texture.
- Adjust baking time based on thickness: thinner breads bake faster.
- Allow bread to cool completely to ensure it holds together when cut.
- Optional seasonings like garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and oregano enhance flavor but can be omitted for plain bread.
- Can be used as a gluten-free bread substitute for wraps, sandwiches, or pizza crusts.
