Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Dried dill weed
• 1 cup Cottage cheese
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, the active dry yeast, sugar, salt, and dried dill weed. Stir to combine.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the cottage cheese, milk, water, and butter over low heat until warm (about 110°F). Stir occasionally to avoid scorching.

Step 3

Add the warm liquid mixture to the flour and yeast mixture, and stir until combined.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and baking soda, mixing until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for about 1 hour in a warm place, or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and shape it into a round or rectangular loaf. Place the dough in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the dill bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
