- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder)
- ½ tsp salt (optional)
- Optional add-ins: shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, herbs, or cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare Ingredients: If your cottage cheese is watery, drain the excess liquid. Blend the cottage cheese for a smoother batter (optional).
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, and self-rising flour. Add salt or any desired add-ins. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Shape the Dough: Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into a loaf or flatbread. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute self-rising flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour.
- To make it keto-friendly, use almond or coconut flour and adjust the liquid ratio.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze slices for up to 1 month.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes or microwave for 10–15 seconds.
