Wow, I had no idea you could make bread with just 2 ingredients!
This recipe is a fantastic option for those seeking a protein-rich bread alternative that’s surprisingly easy to make. With just two ingredients, you can whip up a satisfying loaf in no time!
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| 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 everything is incorporated.
-
Adjust Consistency:
- Gradually add water to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, while stirring continuously. You want 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:
- Take the bread out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
- Then, transfer it 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.
-
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.
