Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cultured cottage cheese
  • 1 cup powdered egg whites
  • 1 cup water

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or whisk
  • 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup powdered egg whites with 1 cup water. Whisk thoroughly until fully hydrated and mixture forms soft peaks. This step is crucial for proper texture.
  3. Add 1 cup cultured cottage cheese to the egg white mixture. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth. The cottage cheese adds moisture, tanginess, and additional protein.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  5. Place in preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until bread is set and top is golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on oven and pan size.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Bread is best served after completely cooled for easier slicing.

Notes

Store at room temperature in airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze slices for up to 8 weeks. Best texture achieved when completely cooled before slicing. Perfect for toast, sandwiches, or as high-protein snack.
