Keto Cottage Cheese Seeded Bread

If you miss eating regular sandwich bread, this keto cottage cheese seeded bread is going to make your week much easier.

Many grain free breads turn out either too dry or too spongy, but this loaf actually has a great texture.

The cottage cheese blends in completely, so you get a soft crumb while keeping the bread low carb and keto friendly.

It also has plenty of crunchy seeds mixed inside and on top, which gives every slice a wonderful nutty taste.

I love to toast a thick slice in the morning and add some butter for a simple breakfast.

Recipe Ingredients

For the Bread

• 1 cup Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
• 4 Large Eggs
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 3/4 cups Blanched Almond Flour
• 1/4 cup Ground Golden Flaxseed
• 2 tbsp Psyllium Husk Powder
• 1 tbsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
• 3 tbsp Sunflower Seeds
• 3 tbsp Pumpkin Seeds
• 1 tbsp Chia Seeds

For the Topping

• 1 tbsp Sunflower Seeds
• 1 tbsp Pumpkin Seeds
• 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds

How To Make

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides.

Step 2

Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil and apple cider vinegar in a blender until completely smooth.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, ground flaxseed, psyllium husk powder, baking powder and sea salt.

Step 4

Pour the blended mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. Fold in 3 tbsp sunflower seeds, 3 tbsp pumpkin seeds and the chia seeds, then let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 5

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a damp spatula. Sprinkle the topping seeds evenly over the surface and press them in lightly so they stick.

Step 6

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift the loaf out and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips

Blend the Wet Ingredients Smoothly

I recommend running your blender until the cottage cheese curds are completely gone. You want a glossy, smooth liquid with no tiny white lumps visible.

If you leave any curds behind, they will melt into wet pockets inside the bread during baking. That can make the texture feel soggy instead of bread-like.

Use Fine Psyllium Husk Powder

You will get the best results if you use finely ground psyllium husk powder rather than whole psyllium husks. The fine powder absorbs moisture much faster and binds the almond flour together.

From my experience, whole husks will not soak up the liquid properly in this amount of time. That can leave your loaf feeling heavy and gummy in the middle.

Give the Batter Time to Rest

Do not skip resting the batter for five minutes before spreading it into the loaf pan. The ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and psyllium need this short window to soak up the liquid from the eggs and cottage cheese.

I have found that this quick rest is what gives the dough its proper body. It keeps the bread from sinking flat once it goes into the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use whole psyllium husks instead of psyllium husk powder?

You can, but you will need to grind them finely in a clean blender or spice grinder first.

Whole flakes do not absorb liquid the same way as fine powder, which can leave your loaf soggy and dense.
