Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 12

Prep Time: 1 1/2 hours (mostly rising time) Cook Time: 40-50 minutes

Ingredients

1/4 cup warm water

1 tablespoon yeast

1 cup creamed cottage cheese, heated to lukewarm

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon dried minced onion

1 tablespoon butter, softened

2 teaspoons dill seed

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 egg

2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

Soften yeast in warm water. Add cottage cheese, sugar, onion, butter, dill seed, salt, baking soda, and egg. Beat to combine. Add flour gradually; beat. When dough is too stiff to use the electric mixer, stir in remaining flour with a sturdy spoon. I only used 2 1/4 cups of the flour, not 2 1/2. Knead lightly and transfer to a greased bowl. Let rise till doubled. Punch down dough and place in a greased loaf pan. Let rise again. Bake at 350-degrees for 40-50 minutes or until browned. Brush with butter and sprinkle with salt.
