Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose or bread flour
  • 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat recommended)
  • ½ cup warm milk or water
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)

Instructions

  • Warm the milk/water until just warm to the touch. Stir in honey and sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit until foamy.
  • Add cottage cheese, salt, and melted butter (if using) to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Add flour gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
  • Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled—about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  • Punch down, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • Cover and let rise again until the loaf domes about 1 inch above the pan rim.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes until golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Cool for 10 minutes in pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • For a rustic look, sprinkle the top with oats or sesame seeds before baking.
  • To freeze, slice and wrap tightly. Toast straight from the freezer when ready to serve.
