Homestyle Cottage Cheese Loaf
Homestyle Cottage Cheese Loaf turns out soft and tender with a fine, even crumb and a mild flavor that complements sweet jam or savory sandwich fillings. The cottage cheese and egg whites add a gentle richness without heaviness, making it great for everyday slicing. Serve it warm with butter, as toast for breakfast, or as a sturdy base for lunchtime sandwiches.

Assemble all the ingredients.
- 2
In a large bowl, mix the warm water and yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Meanwhile, place the egg whites and cottage cheese in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth.
- 4
Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the yeast mixture and whisk to combine.
- 5
With a wooden spoon, stir the flour and salt into the wet mixture until combined (the dough will be sticky).
- 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth but still slightly tacky, adding more flour as needed.
- 7
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- 8
Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- 9
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat and pinch it into a loaf shape, tucking the edges underneath.
- 10
Set the shaped dough, seam side down, in the prepared loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size (about 30 minutes).
- 11
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). With a sharp knife, make a shallow lengthwise slit down the center of the loaf.
- 12
Bake until the bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped, 40 to 45 minutes. Loosely cover with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
- 13
Remove from the pan immediately and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
