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.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
