Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with a strip of parchment paper so the long sides overhang like handles. Lightly coat the parchment and any exposed pan with cooking spray.
Place the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve and let sit for 10 minutes, pressing with a spoon to remove excess liquid. In a bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, egg whites, flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix with a spatula until a thick, uniform batter forms.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil after 30 minutes. The loaf is done when the top is deep golden, feels firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Done when The top springs back lightly and a toothpick comes out clean., 200°F.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Use the parchment handles to lift the loaf onto a wire rack. Let the bread cool completely for at least 40 minutes before slicing to allow the moist crumb to set.
