With just a handful of simple ingredients, cottage cheese bread delivers a tender, slightly tangy loaf that’s perfect for sandwiches, toast, or even a wholesome snack. The cottage cheese adds a subtle creaminess and boosts the protein, while honey lends a whisper of sweetness.

Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix cottage cheese, egg, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined—overmixing leads to a tough loaf!
Pour batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 40–45 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
For a savory version, add a teaspoon of dried herbs or garlic powder. For a lighter option, use low-fat cottage cheese and reduce honey by half. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
