Make a simple, high-protein, low-carb bread substitute using cottage cheese. This recipe yields a fluffy loaf perfect for your keto diet sandwich needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, drained well
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder (not whole husks)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a small loaf pan (about 7×3 inches) with parchment paper.
  2. Place the drained cottage cheese and eggs into a food processor or high-speed blender. Process until the mixture is completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. This step is key for a smooth texture.
  3. Transfer the cottage cheese mixture to a medium bowl. Add the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Mix everything together using a spatula until just combined. The batter will thicken quickly due to the psyllium husk. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  7. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Slicing while warm results in a gummy texture.
  8. Once fully cooled, slice into 10 even pieces. This is your best keto sandwich bread.

Notes

  • Draining the cottage cheese thoroughly removes excess moisture, which prevents a soggy loaf. Press it between paper towels if needed.
  • Psyllium husk powder acts as the gluten replacement, giving structure. Do not substitute with flaxseed meal for this specific recipe.
  • Store leftover bread slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
  • This bread is excellent toasted and works well as a bread replacement for burgers or sandwiches.
