I got this recipe from a lady who was a member of an online cooking group I belonged to. I was skeptical of using the cottage cheese, but the finished product changed my mind.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 cup small curd cottage cheese (do not drain)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp teaspoons instant yeast (1 pkg)

How To Make cottage cheese bread

  • Step 1
    Place all ingredients in bowl of Kitchen Aid. Using dough hook, stir and knead 10-15 minutes on slow to medium speed. Use up to 1/2 cup more flour if dough seems too sticky.
  • Step 2
    Put bowl in warm place and allow dough to raise until double, about 30 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Prepare two 9" x 5" bread pans by either greasing or spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Step 4
    When dough has doubled in size, punch down and shape into loaves. Place dough into prepared bread pans and allow to raise until just above the edge of the pan.
  • Step 5
    Put pans in preheated 350^ oven and bake approximately 40 minutes until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and allow to sit in pans about 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack.
  • Step 6
    NOTE: This was originally a bread machine recipe but I found that it produces too much dough and raises way too much to be prepared in bread machine. You can use the bread machine for the mixing/kneading, if desired, and then treat like a traditional loaf of bread to bake. I have baked in bread pans and also shaped into an oblong loaf on a baking sheet to resemble a loaf of French bread. Both methods turn out well.
