Ingredients

• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup warm water (110°F)
• 1 cup cottage cheese (room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon minced onion
• 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
• 2 teaspoons dried dill seed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 large egg
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly and activated.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, granulated sugar, minced onion, melted butter, dried dill seed, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.

Step 3

Stir in the activated yeast mixture and the egg. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a soft, sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 50-60 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish with butter.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared casserole dish. Smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Let the dough rise again in the casserole dish for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the casserole dish for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
