Seeded cottage cheese bread recipe

Method

1. Put the cottage cheese in a sieve to drain. Line a 450g loaf tin with baking paper and preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
2. Blend the oats in a food processor until finely ground. Add the strained cottage cheese, baking powder and fine salt and pulse to mix. Add the eggs and oil and pulse again until smooth. Fold through half the toasted seeds.
3. Spoon into the tin and level the top. Sprinkle with the remaining seeds, then bake for 40-50 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Once cool, cut into 12 slices. Open-freeze on a lined baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag once frozen and freeze for up to 3 months.
5. To serve, add slices straight to the toaster or warm under the grill, or defrost at room temperature for 1 hr. Top with houmous, carrot ribbons, cucumber and radish slices, if you like.
