Equipment

  • 2 standard loaf pans

Ingredients
  

  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/3 cup warm water
  • 1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
  • 1 Tbsp. sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve the yeast in warm water (must be 110-115F degrees) for 10 minutes.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs and cottage cheese until frothy. Add the yeast mixture and blend until combined.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Stir in the cottage cheese mixture. The dough will be sticky and shaggy.
  • Preheat oven to 200F degrees.
  • Dump the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Knead the dough for 6-8 minutes until you have a smooth (but still somewhat sticky) ball.
  • Turn off the oven. Place the dough into an oiled bowl and cover with a dish towel. Place the bowl into the warm oven and let the dough rise for 1 hour.
  • Remove the dough from the oven and divide it in half. Shape into small loaf shapes.
  • Line 2 loaf pans with parchment paper. Place the dough into each loaf pan. Cover with a dish towel and let rest for 20-25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Using a sharp knife or razor blade, score the bread before baking. Cover the loaves with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 15 minutes.
  • Cool the bread in the loaf pans for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
