Egg White Powder & Cottage Cheese Bread Recipe
(High-protein, gluten-free, low-carb)
Ingredients:
- 30g (about 4 tbsp) egg white powder
- 120ml (½ cup) warm water (to rehydrate the egg whites)
- 100g (about ⅓ cup) cottage cheese (blended for smoother texture)
- ½ tsp baking powder (for rise)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp apple cider vinegar (helps with structure and fluffiness)
- Optional: 1 tsp psyllium husk or xanthan gum (for better texture)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Rehydrate the egg white powder: Mix the powder with warm water in a bowl. Whisk until it forms a liquid-like consistency similar to regular egg whites.
- Blend cottage cheese: If your cottage cheese is lumpy, blend it until smooth.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine baking powder, salt, and optional psyllium husk/xanthan gum.
- Combine: Add the rehydrated egg whites, blended cottage cheese, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
- Whip for fluffiness (optional): For an extra fluffy texture, you can whisk the batter for 1-2 minutes to incorporate air.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool completely before slicing to prevent it from collapsing.
Tips for the Best Texture:
- Psyllium husk or xanthan gum improves elasticity and prevents crumbliness.
- For a richer taste, add a pinch of garlic powder, Italian herbs, or nutritional yeast.
- Store in an airtight container and warm up before eating for the best texture.
