Some people have asked me how I choose the recipes I put on this blog. \u00a0I usually put any new recipe I try, because usually everything is pretty good and worth sharing. \u00a0But usually does not mean always. \u00a0Let’s use a bread recipe as an example.<\/p>\n
I have been on a mission to rid my freezer and fridge of things that need to be used up. \u00a0Last week I decided to use the rest of a container of cottage cheese and some bananas I had frozen. \u00a0It seemed like an OK recipe. \u00a0The only ingredient out of the ordinary was the cottage cheese. \u00a0I thought it might create a creamy texture with a little tang. \u00a0Kind of like yogurt. \u00a0I think it was actually the downfall of this bread. \u00a0The cottage cheese curds baked in the bread created a truly funky texture. \u00a0The bread took a lot longer to bake than instructed below. \u00a0Even after 40 minutes in the oven the middle was gooey. \u00a0After 50 minutes I took it out of the oven and after cooling I sliced it up revealing a still undercooked center. \u00a0The edges were OK, but I ended up throwing the loaf away after eating half of a piece I had toasted and buttered. \u00a0And I don’t throw food away easily. \u00a0It just wasn’t worth it.<\/p>\n
So, unlike other posts on Hottie Biscotti, this recipe is one that I do not\u00a0recommend. \u00a0If you have a good bread recipe that uses cottage cheese, then please let me know. \u00a0At this point I am not likely to try another baked good where cottage cheese is involved.<\/p>\n
