Ingredients

1 cup (240g) 4% fat cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (60 ml) avocado oil (for sweet bread) or olive oil (for savory bread)
2 teaspoons (10 ml) apple cider vinegar (optional)
1/2 cup (120g) Sinless Sourdough™ living starter
2 cups (200g) almond flour
3 tablespoons (18g) psyllium husk
(+1 tablespoon / 6g more if needed for texture)
1 teaspoon (5g) salt
2 teaspoons (8g) or 1 tablespoon (12g) baking powder
(Use more if adding heavy mix-ins like nuts or seeds)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Olive oil or avocado oil spray (optional, for greasing or finishing)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mini mixer or blender combine the cottage cheese, eggs, oil, and apple cider vinegar.
Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
To the mixing bowl add ½ cup Sinless Sourdough living starter.
Your Sinless living starter (specifically the coconut & almond flour blend) will be dry and crumbly. That’s perfect. Do not add water.
Add almond flour, psyllium, salt and baking powder. Mix into a moist dough.
If the dough is too wet add one tbsp at a time of psyllium.
If the dough is too dry add 1 tbsp at a time of milk (cow’s, almond, coconut)
Pour dough into bread pan.
Whisk the egg. Brush egg wash on top of bread.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Add foil to cover the loaf.
Bake another 15 minutes.
Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the bread is done baking.
Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
Enjoy!

Pro Tips

Heart-Smart Option: Swap 4% cottage cheese with fat-free cottage cheese plus 2 to 3 tablespoons of avocado or olive oil
Less Tang For Savoury Options: Add 2 to 2 tbsp powdered sweetener to dough
Fresh Twist: Add fresh lemon juice to add citrus tanginess to dough (blueberry and lemon biscuits for example)
Flavour Boost: Add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for umami depth and roundness of flavour of biscuits
