High protein Gluten Free Bread
High-protein, gluten-free bread made with flax, cottage cheese, and seeds offers a powerhouse of nutrition and functional benefits. This type of bread is rich in plant-based omega-3 fatty acids from flax and seeds, supporting heart health and reducing inflammation. The addition of cottage cheese boosts the protein content, promoting muscle repair and satiety, making it ideal for active individuals or those looking to manage their weight. Being gluten-free, it’s also suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, offering a wholesome, nutrient-dense alternative to traditional breads.

This bread won’t last as long as a traditional loaf. I suggest slicing the bread once it has cooled down and freezing most of it. You can then defrost as much as you need each time.
