Tips

1. Add extra flavour and texture by sprinkling accents such as ‘Everything Bagel’ seasoning, garlic and herb seasoning, Parmesan cheese or sesame seeds over the mounds before baking.

2. Store bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

3. Fat free and 1% cottage cheese are less ideal for this recipe as they contain more water than higher milk fat options.
