Instructions

Prepare your oven and pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Blend the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend cottage cheese and eggs until smooth using a hand mixer or whisk.
Add dry ingredients: Gently fold in baking powder and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Customize: Add any herbs, seeds, or flavorings as desired and fold gently.
Pour and smooth: Transfer batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Add optional toppings if desired.
Bake: Bake for 45–55 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool completely: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.

Notes

For best results, blend the cottage cheese until smooth before mixing. Allow the bread to cool completely to maintain structure when slicing. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
