Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for an alternative)
- ½ cup sugar (or ⅓ cup for a less sweet bread)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (preferably aluminum-free)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup walnuts (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bread. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, and sugar until well combined. - Add Dry Ingredients:
Sift in the flour and baking powder, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this could affect the texture of the bread. - Incorporate Walnuts:
Fold in the finely chopped walnuts, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. - Bake the Bread:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve!
Notes
- his bread is mildly sweet, but you can adjust the sweetness by reducing or increasing the sugar to suit your preference.
- The bread is best when allowed to cool completely before slicing.
- Feel free to add more nuts or dried fruits like raisins for added flavor and texture.
