Ingredients
- 200 grams whole grain rye flour
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 200 grams low-fat cottage cheese
- 150 milliliters warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole grain rye flour, all-purpose flour, instant dry yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step 2
In another bowl, mix together the low-fat cottage cheese, warm water, honey, and olive oil. Stir until smooth and the honey is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Gradually add the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Add a bit more all-purpose flour if the dough is too sticky.
Step 5
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 8
Cover the loaf with the damp kitchen towel again and let it rise for another 30 minutes in a warm area to allow it to puff up slightly.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 10
Remove the bread from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
