Directions
-
Heat the creamed cottage cheese until it is lukewarm to the touch, ensuring it blends easily into the dough.
-
Dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5âÂÂ10 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm cottage cheese, sugar, minced onion, melted butter, egg, salt, and dill seeds.
-
Stir in the yeast mixture until fully incorporated.
-
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
Knead the dough until it forms a stiff, smooth ball that is slightly tacky but not sticky; add more flour if necessary.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough to release air bubbles, then shape it into a loaf or a round on a greased baking sheet.
-
Cover the shaped dough and let it rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and bake the bread for 30âÂÂ45 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
-
While still warm, brush the top with softened butter and sprinkle lightly with salt for extra flavor.
