Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (250 g) bread flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (240 g) full fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) warm water (110°F / 43°C)

Method
 

  1. Blend cottage cheese and warm water until completely smooth and pourable.
  2. Whisk flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in blended cheese mixture to form a shaggy, sticky dough.
  3. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. Punch down dough, shape into a log, and place seam side down in a greased 8x4 inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise until the dough crests just above the pan rim, about 30 minutes.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  6. Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack. Slice after at least 20 minutes of cooling.

Notes

The dough will look sticky when mixing, but resist adding extra flour. Blending the cottage cheese fully is the key to a soft, even crumb.
