Wow, I had no idea you could make bread with just 2 ingredients!
This recipe offers a delightful option for those in search of a protein-rich bread alternative that’s surprisingly simple to make. With only two ingredients, you can prepare a satisfying loaf in no time, making it perfect for anyone looking to add more protein to their diet without the hassle of a complex recipe.
Ingredients:
- Cultured cottage cheese: 1 cup
- Powdered egg whites: 1 cup
- Water: Up to 1 cup (gradually added)
Instructions:
Make the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and powdered egg whites. Stir well until thoroughly incorporated.
- Gradually add water to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, while stirring continuously. The goal is to achieve a smooth batter with a consistency similar to traditional bread dough.
Preheat and Prep the Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Bake to Golden Perfection:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when the bread is done.
Cool and Slice:
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing with a sharp knife.
Enjoy Fresh or Toasted:
- Enjoy your protein bread fresh, or toast it lightly for a different texture and enhanced flavor.
Storage Tips:
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
- For longer storage, freeze individual slices and thaw them as needed.
