Meanwhile, combine the egg whites and cottage cheese in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth.

Using a wooden spoon, stir flour and salt into the wet mixture until combined (dough will be sticky).

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 5 minutes or until smooth but still slightly tacky, adding additional flour as needed.

Shape dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat and pinch dough into a loaf shape, tucking edges underneath.

Place shaped dough, seam side down, in prepared loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (about 30 minutes).

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Using a sharp knife, cut a shallow slit, lengthwise, down the middle of the loaf.

Bake until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped, 40 to 45 minutes. Cover loosely with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning.

Immediately remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
