Cottage Cheese Cloud Loaf (Print-Friendly Version)
# What You'll Need:
01 -
1 teaspoon vanilla stevia if you're going sweet (totally optional)
02 -
113 grams cottage cheese
03 -
1 tablespoon allulose (skip if you want)
04 -
20 grams egg white protein (about 1/4 cup)
05 -
Sesame seeds or bagel seasoning for topping (toss on if you like)
06 -
62 grams whey protein (roughly 3/4 cup or 2 and a half scoops)
07 -
6 big eggs, stash yolks and whites in separate bowls, let them warm up a bit
08 -
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar or cream of tartar
09 -
1/4 teaspoon onion powder, if you're in a savory mood (optional)
10 -
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
11 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, for the savory crowd (optional)
12 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Fire up your oven and set it to 150°C. Grab a loaf pan (23 x 13 cm), lay down parchment, and hit it with a quick swipe of grease.
02 -
In a fresh bowl, beat your yolks with cottage cheese, all powders, salt, sweetener, and any extras you want tossed in. You can blend it if you want it silky.
03 -
Put the egg whites in your mixer bowl, splash in the vinegar, then let the mixer go wild until stiff peaks show up. This’ll take around 10 to 15 minutes. Push this bowl aside when it’s ready.
04 -
Start by scraping just a bit of yolk mix into the whites to loosen it up. Then gently fold in the rest. Go slow—don’t mash out all that fluffy air you whipped in.
05 -
Pour the batter into your loaf pan and smooth it out. If you want roll shapes instead, you’ll want a lined baking tray or silicone mold. Top with seeds or seasoning now if you feel like it.
06 -
Slide the pan onto the middle rack. Let it bake for about 50 minutes. You’re done when the top’s golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
07 -
Once baking’s over, shut off the oven but keep the bread in there for 10 more minutes—don’t open the door yet.
08 -
Slice up. Eat warm, pop in the toaster, or cool down and use for sandwiches. Store like you would high-protein cloud bread.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Go savory by adding garlic and onion powder. Want it sweet or like French toast? Skip the savory and use some vanilla stevia.
02 -
For little sandwich rolls, bake 8 equal portions at 150°C for 20 to 25 minutes on a parchment-lined tray.
03 -
Letting it cool down in the switched-off oven keeps the loaf from sinking and helps the inside stay nicely fluffy.
