Ingredients
Scale
Basic Ingredients
- 2 Large Whole Eggs
- 1 Cup Cottage Cheese (full fat, reduced fat, or fat free; preferably low sodium)
Optional Seasonings
- ¾ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- Oregano (for topping)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients. Add 1 cup of cottage cheese and 2 large whole eggs into a food processor or blender. If desired, add ¾ teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps, ensuring a uniform texture for the bread.
- Prepare Baking Sheet. Line a baking sheet fully with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ease removal.
- Pour & Shape. Pour the smooth mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly into your chosen shape using a spoon or spatula. You can make a thin rectangle for wraps, a round shape for a pizza base, or smaller circles for individual portions. For a thicker loaf-style bread, pour the batter into a small parchment-lined loaf pan. Optionally, sprinkle oregano or any other seasonings on top.
- Bake. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking sheet or loaf pan inside and bake for 30-35 minutes for thinner bread. For thicker bread or the loaf style, bake closer to 50 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool. Remove the baked bread from the oven and transfer, still on parchment paper, to a wire rack. Let it cool completely before peeling off the parchment paper or cutting to allow the bread to firm up and avoid tearing.
Notes
- Using low sodium cottage cheese helps control the salt content.
- The texture and baking time vary depending on thickness; thinner bread cooks faster.
- Optional seasonings like garlic powder and Italian seasoning enhance flavor but can be omitted for a plain version.
- You can customize the shape to suit your needs: rectangle for wraps, rounds for pizza base or individual breads.
- Allowing the bread to cool fully is essential for proper slicing and avoiding breakage.
