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!

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
• 2 cups fat-free cottage cheese
• 2 cups broccoli stems, grated

Recipe Instructions

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.
