High protein Cheese Bread Recipe

Ingredients You Will Need

To make this delicious high protein cheese bread you will need to gather the following items from your kitchen. Please make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature if possible as this helps everything mix together much better.

• 2 cups of high quality cottage cheese which provides the main protein boost
• 3 large eggs to help the bread rise and add more structure
• 2 cups of almond flour for a nutty flavor and low carb base
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese for that classic savory taste
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder to ensure the bread is light and fluffy
• Half a teaspoon of garlic powder to add a nice depth of flavor
• Half a teaspoon of dried oregano for a touch of herbal goodness
• One fourth teaspoon of salt to bring out all the savory notes
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil to grease your baking pan
• 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese for a crispy top layer

Step by Step Method

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit so it is nice and hot by the time your dough is ready for baking.
2. Take a standard size loaf pan and grease it thoroughly with olive oil or use a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3. In a large mixing bowl add your 2 cups of cottage cheese and use a fork or a blender to make it smooth if you do not like big chunks.
4. Crack the 3 large eggs into the bowl with the cottage cheese and whisk them together until the mixture looks uniform and pale yellow.
5. Slowly pour in the 2 cups of almond flour while stirring constantly to avoid any large lumps forming in the batter.
6. Add the baking powder and garlic powder and dried oregano and salt into the bowl and mix everything until the spices are well distributed.
7. Fold in the 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese gently using a spatula so the cheese is spread evenly throughout the thick dough.
8. Pour the completed mixture into your prepared loaf pan and use the back of a spoon to level the top so it bakes evenly.
9. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese over the top of the loaf to create a beautiful and salty crust.
10. Place the pan in the center rack of your oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until the top is a deep golden brown.
11. You can check if it is done by inserting a toothpick into the center and if it comes out clean then your bread is ready.
12. Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit on a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before you try to slice it.
13. Slicing the bread while it is too hot might cause it to crumble so patience is very important for the best texture.
14. Once cooled you can cut the bread into thick slices and serve it warm or store it in the fridge for later.
