Why doesn't this bread need a yeast mixture?

Since this is not a yeast bread, you do not have to worry about preparing a yeast mixture. Although your bread will rise a little, it will not expand like regular bread does after baking. The good thing about that is you do not have to do any kneading on a floured work surface or set your dough in a warm place or warm spot to wait for it to rise. No need to worry about adding warm water to the yeast or adding more flour if it is too sticky.

Can I use baking soda instead of powder?

Baking powder is made of baking soda mixed with cornstarch and cream of tartar. Baking soda is stronger than powder so you should use one-fourth of the baking soda that the recipe calls for. Just divide it by four and use double the amount of cream of tartar. The only difference will be the cornstarch.

Can I use egg whites?

Yes, egg whites will make this delicious bread even more tender and moist, similar to milk bread. Just use two egg whites per egg and it will give your cottage cheese bread a fluffy and crusty texture with a lighter taste as well. You will taste more of the sweet flavors without having the egg yolks, it cuts back on cholesterol, and there is no eggy taste.
