Ingredients
-
Loaf Size S
-
55 g water
-
15 g honey
-
160 g full-fat cottage cheese(minimum 5% fat), drained (see method)
-
1 whole egg(~50 g)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
4 g fine salt

250 g strong white bread flour

1 tsp dry yeast
-
30 g everything bagel seasoning(or substitute 30 g mixed sesame seeds + an extra 4 g fine salt — see note)
Directions
A soft, protein-boosted enriched loaf built on drained cottage cheese, honey, and olive oil, finished with everything bagel seasoning dropped in automatically from the raisin/nut dispenser — savoury, garlicky, and full of texture. Mixed and baked entirely in the bread machine.
Note: This recipe includes approximately 15 minutes of active time (including cottage cheese draining) and approximately 2hours 10mins of machine cycle time.
Cottage cheese varies significantly between brands in water and whey content, which can dramatically affect the rise and texture of the loaf. Draining the cottage cheese before use removes excess whey and levels this variability across brands for a consistent result every time. Use full-fat cottage cheese (minimum 5% fat). Do not use fat-free, low-fat, or “cottage cheese style” products with stabilisers listed higher than milk on the ingredient list.
Most shop-bought everything bagel seasonings contain salt — check the label. If yours does not contain salt, add an extra 4 g fine salt to the recipe to bring the overall seasoning up to level.
Created for our mini bread & ice cream maker SD-PMC100/101.
Steps

1
|
Place 160 g of cottage cheese in a fine mesh sieve set over a bowl and leave to drain for 10 minutes. Discard the whey that collects in the bowl. Weigh the drained cottage cheese to confirm 160 g. If slightly under, top up with additional drained cottage cheese; if slightly over, that's fine. |
