Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a 5″x9″ loaf pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly (or use a baking sheet for rolls).
Place egg whites and vinegar in a stand mixer or use an electric hand mixer. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 10–15 minutes). Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cottage cheese, baking powder, salt, whey protein powder, egg white protein powder, Allulose (if using), and vanilla extract (if using). Blend until smooth.
Gently fold a small amount of the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, incorporating gradually to maintain airiness.
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan (or scoop onto the baking sheet for rolls). Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if desired.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Turn off the oven but leave the bread inside with the door closed for 10 minutes.
Remove, slice, and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

– Use room-temperature eggs for optimal whipping and blending. Substitute plant-based ingredients for vegan diets.

– Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Freeze slices for longer storage; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Avoid microwaving to preserve texture.
