Why This Bread Works

Many low carb or high-protein breads can be dry or crumbly. This cottage cheese bread stays soft because the eggs hold the mixture together while the cottage cheese provides moisture.

The simplicity of this bread is its strength. You blend the ingredients, pour the batter onto a baking sheet, bake, and it is ready to enjoy. You can make it for a meal prep or a quick snack.

It is also very flexible. You can make one large flatbread to fold like a wrap or cut it into smaller portions for sandwiches or snacks. The mild flavor pairs well with a variety of fillings from nut butter and jam to eggs, cheese, or vegetables.

Ingredients You Will Need

Main Ingredients

• 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  Full-fat cottage cheese works best because it gives a creamy texture and adds protein. Small or large curd will work, but smooth blending is important for the final bread.
• 2 large eggs
  Eggs are essential for structure. They bind the cottage cheese and create a flexible, slightly chewy bread that does not fall apart.

Optional Flavor Additions

• Pinch of salt for savory flavor
• A quarter teaspoon garlic powder for a subtle garlic note
• Quarter teaspoon Italian seasoning for herbs
• Everything bagel seasoning for topping before baking

Portion Notes

This recipe makes one large flatbread or two smaller wraps. You can double the recipe for more servings. The thickness of the bread can be adjusted based on your preference. A thinner layer will be slightly crispier on the edges, while a thicker layer stays soft and foldable.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the bread from sticking and makes it easier to lift and fold after baking.

Step 2: Blend the cottage cheese

Place 1 cup of cottage cheese in a blender or food processor. Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth. This step is very important because it ensures there are no lumps and the bread bakes evenly.

Step 3: Add the eggs

Crack 2 eggs into the blender with the cottage cheese. Blend again until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to make sure everything is blended evenly.

Step 4: Add optional seasonings

If you want savory bread, add a pinch of salt, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning now. Blend for a few seconds so the flavors mix evenly.

Step 5: Pour the batter onto the pan

Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin rectangle or square about a quarter inch thick. You can make one large flatbread or cut it into smaller portions for wraps or sandwiches.

Step 6: Bake the bread

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the edges are slightly golden and the bread feels firm in the center. Avoid overbaking, or the bread will become dry and less flexible.

Step 7: Cool slightly

Take the bread out of the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes on the pan. Cooling allows the bread to firm up while keeping it soft and foldable.

Step 8: Lift and fold

Use the parchment paper to lift the bread from the pan. The bread should be flexible enough to fold without cracking. Cut it into portions for sandwiches, wraps, or snack-sized pieces.

Step 9: Serve and enjoy

Serve the bread as is, or toast lightly for a warm texture. Spread with cream cheese, butter, nut butter, or top with eggs and vegetables for a complete meal.

Helpful Tips for Success

• Blend the cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid lumps.
• Do not overbake to keep the bread soft.
• Use parchment paper for easy removal.
• Let the bread cool before folding to prevent breaking.
• Experiment with seasonings to make it savory or sweet.
• Use full fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.

Variations to Try

• Sweet version: Add a teaspoon of honey or cinnamon to the batter before baking.
• Cheesy bread: Mix 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese into the batter for a savory twist.
• Herb bread: Add rosemary, thyme, or basil for fragrant flavor.
• Mini wraps: Spread the batter thinner and cut into smaller rectangles for snack-sized wraps.
• Breakfast bread: Top with nut butter and banana slices for a high protein breakfast.

How to Store the Bread

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side or microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.
• Freeze the bread for up to 1 month. Wrap in parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe container. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
