Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups cottage cheese
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Blend the wet ingredients: Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. This helps create a more even texture throughout the bread.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl: Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the flour: Gradually add the self-rising flour, stirring gently until a thick, sticky dough forms. Avoid adding too much extra flour, as the dough should remain moist.
- Fill the loaf pan: Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula, smoothing the surface.
- Add the seasoning: Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning generously over the top. Gently press it into the dough so it adheres during baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to rest in the pan for approximately 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack: Carefully lift the loaf out using the parchment paper and place it on a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing so the inside has time to set.
- Slice and serve: Cut into slices and enjoy toasted with cream cheese, butter, avocado, or your favorite sandwich fillings.
