Ingredients

• 1 cup Cottage cheese
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 large Egg
• 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Dried dill weed
• 1 tablespoon Dried minced onion
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients by bringing the cottage cheese to room temperature if it has been refrigerated.

Step 2

Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer. Typically, this order is liquid ingredients first, followed by dry ingredients, and yeast last.

Step 3

Start with adding the cottage cheese, water, melted butter, and the egg to the bread machine pan.

Step 4

Next, add the all-purpose flour, ensuring it covers the liquid ingredients completely.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sugar, salt, dill weed, and minced onion evenly over the top of the flour.

Step 6

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast, making sure it does not touch the liquid ingredients at this stage.

Step 7

Place the pan into the bread machine, close the lid, and select the 'Basic White Bread', 'Regular', or equivalent program. Choose a light or medium crust setting, depending on your preference.

Step 8

Start the bread machine and let it knead, rise, and bake according to the selected program. The process usually takes around 3 hours.

Step 9

Once the bread machine beeps to signal the end of the baking cycle, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and turn the bread out onto a cooling rack.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to ensure the texture remains intact and does not become gummy.

Step 11

Serve as desired—this aromatic bread pairs beautifully with butter, cream cheese, or savory dishes like soups and stews.
