Ingredients
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cups Warm water
- 1 cups Cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Dried dill weed
- 2 teaspoons Minced onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 large Egg
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Step 2
In a larger bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, dill weed, minced onion, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
Step 3
Add the egg to the cottage cheese mixture and stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined.
Step 4
Stir in the yeast mixture.
Step 5
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface for about 3-5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 7
Grease a round baking dish or 8-9 inch cake pan with butter, and place the dough in the center. Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 9
Bake the bread 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 brush the top with a little melted butter while it is still warm to give it a soft and glossy finish.
Step 11
Allow the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
