Ingredients  

For The Dough

  • 1 cup Small Curd Cottage Cheese (use this for best results - amazon)
  • 1/4 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 2 1/4 tsp Instant Yeast
  • 3 1/4 cups Bread Flour (I highly recommend using this one - amazon)
  • 1 tsp Fine Salt
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, Softened

For The Garlic Topping

  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter, Melted
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Finely Grated
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning

Equipment

  • blender
  • loaf pan

Instructions 

  • Blend the cottage cheese, milk, egg, and honey until smooth. Warm the mixture gently until it feels slightly warm but not hot, then stir in the instant yeast.
  • Combine the bread flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the cottage cheese mixture and softened butter, then mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky. Place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 60 to 75 minutes, or until doubled.
  • Stir the melted butter, garlic, parsley, and Italian seasoning together. Coat a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Divide the dough by hand into 20 small pieces. Toss each piece with the garlic butter and Parmesan, then arrange the pieces loosely in the prepared pan.
  • Cover the pan and let the dough rise for 30 to 40 minutes, until puffy and about 1 inch above the rim. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake for 35 to 42 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Cool for 10 minutes before transferring the pull-apart bread to a serving plate.
