# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper, ensuring it overhangs on the sides for easy removal. This preparation is key for your High Protein 2-Ingredient Bread Recipe to bake evenly and prevent sticking.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 2 cups (16 oz) low-fat cottage cheese and 4 large eggs. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, with no visible lumps of cottage cheese remaining. This creates the essential protein-rich foundation for your bread.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup oat flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined.
04 -
Pour the blended cottage cheese and egg mixture into the bowl with the whisked dry ingredients. Gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are acceptable for this High Protein 2-Ingredient Bread Recipe.
05 -
Transfer the bread batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the top generously with 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning, 1 tsp sesame seeds, and 1 tsp poppy seeds. These toppings add a delicious crust and flavor.
06 -
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the High Protein 2-Ingredient Bread Recipe is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The internal temperature should reach 200-210°F (93-99°C).
07 -
Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before carefully lifting it out. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing for the best texture.
# Notes:
01 -
Oat flour can sometimes be substituted with almond flour for a gluten-free option, but the texture might vary slightly.
02 -
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It also freezes well for longer storage.
03 -
This savory bread is fantastic toasted with avocado, as a side for soups and salads, or as a base for open-faced sandwiches.
04 -
For an extra fluffy loaf, ensure your baking powder is fresh. Old baking powder can result in a dense bread.
