Ingredients




1 packet dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup cottage cheese, creamed
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh onion
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 teaspoons dill seed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
2 1/4 cups white flour

Preparation

1 In a small bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. 2 In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, onion, butter, dill seed, salt, baking soda, egg, and flour. 3 Allow the flour mixture to come to room temperature; the original recipe suggests placing it on top of the stove. 4 Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, and mix until thoroughly combined. 5 The result should be a stiff dough. 6 Cover the dough, and place it in a warm location. 7 Allow the dough to rise until double (about 1 hour). 8 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 9 Stir down the dough, and place it in a well-buttered 2-quart casserole dish. 10 Return the dough to the warm location, and allow it to rise again for 30-40 minutes. 11 Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is a dark brown color. 12 After removing the bread from the oven, brush the crust with melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
