Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Dairy
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the bread evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and full-fat cottage cheese using a wooden spoon. As the mixture starts to come together, switch to your clean hands to knead and form the dough into a ball. Lightly flour your hands if the dough feels too sticky.
- Roll Out Dough: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a large rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thickness, ensuring even thickness for consistent baking.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the surface of the rolled-out dough to add a flavorful cheesy crust when baked.
- Bake the Bread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the dough for 20 to 25 minutes. The bread is done when it turns golden brown and feels firm in the center to the touch.
Notes
- You can swap self-rising flour with all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt if unavailable.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, dust your hands and the rolling surface with more flour.
- For a stronger cheese flavor, try mixing some cheddar cheese into the dough before rolling out.
- Serve this bread warm for the best texture and flavor.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat before serving.
