Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, blended smooth
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for pan)
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Blend cottage cheese until smooth, then whisk with sugar, ¼ cup melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
  3. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined.
  4. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and 2 tbsp melted butter. Layer half the batter in a greased loaf pan, top with half the cinnamon mixture, then remaining batter, then rest of cinnamon. Swirl with a knife.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
  6. Whisk powdered sugar, 1 tbsp milk, and ¼ tsp vanilla. Drizzle over warm loaf, slice, and serve.

Notes

Blend the cottage cheese completely smooth for an even crumb. If you prefer a little texture, leave a few small curds. The bread stays moist for days and freezes well unglazed.
