❓ Q & A (Carnivore Bread Edition)
Q: Does this taste like eggs?
A:
No. The cottage cheese and butter neutralize the egg flavor beautifully.
Q: Can I use cream cheese instead of cottage cheese?
A:
Yes.
-
Use ½ cup full-fat cream cheese
-
Texture will be slightly denser but still sliceable
Q: Why blend instead of mixing?
A:
Blending:
-
Removes cottage cheese curds
-
Creates a smooth crumb
-
Prevents “omelet texture”
Q: Can I skip baking powder?
A:
Yes, but the loaf will be flatter.
If strict carnivore, you can omit it.
Q: Why does my bread collapse?
A:
Common causes:
-
Oven door opened early
-
Underbaking
-
Slicing while hot
Q: Can I toast this bread?
A:
Absolutely.
-
Toasts best in a skillet with butter
-
Also works in toaster on medium setting
Q: How do I store it?
A:
-
Fridge: 5–6 days in airtight container
-
Freezer: Slice first, freeze up to 2 months
Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
A:
Yes (still carnivore):
-
Use rendered tallow instead of butter
-
Replace cottage cheese with extra eggs (2 more)
Texture will be firmer but usable.
Q: Can I add flavor?
A:
Yes — carnivore-friendly options:
-
Bacon bits
-
Shredded cheese
-
Beef gelatin (1 tbsp for structure)
Q: Why apple cider vinegar?
A:
It helps:
-
Lighten the crumb
-
Reduce egginess
-
Improve rise
(Optional — you can skip it.)
