Broccoli Bread

This is a hearty, savory bread with a thick, crispy crust and a wonderfully soft texture inside. I invented it while searching for new ways to use broccoli stems. Tastes great!

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).

Step: 2

Mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a large bowl.

Step: 3

Mix yogurt, eggs, butter, and sugar together in a small bowl until blended. Pour over flour mixture and stir until moistened. Fold in cottage cheese, grated broccoli stems, and Cheddar cheese. Stir well; pour into the prepared pan.

Step: 4

Bake in the preheated oven until top is browned, about 1 hour. Cover with aluminum foil. Continue baking until a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 45 minutes more. Let sit for 15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack or plate; continue to cool before slicing.

The quality of the flour can make a real deal to your bread. Different makers do vary. Great taste or Canadian flours, which are bet higher in gluten, may give you a best rise than standard dough flours – especially if you’re making wholemeal dough , which doesn’t always getting bigger as well as white bread.

To make this in a dough , add all the ingredients to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A bread first rising can be make in the fridge 24 hours . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can work it yesterday , then clear it off the next day.
