Description
A quick and simple rustic loaf made from self-rising flour and cottage cheese, perfect for toasting and topping.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- Optional: a pinch of salt
- Optional: melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a small loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and cottage cheese. Fold gently until a shaggy, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Shape the dough into a round boule and place it on the prepared sheet, or press it into the greased loaf pan. Score the top if desired and brush with melted butter.
- Bake for 30–45 minutes until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool on a rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a lighter crumb, use small-curd cottage cheese and drain any excess whey. Store cooled slices in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
