Directions
-
Warm the creamed cottage cheese until it is lukewarm to the touch.
-
Dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, warm cottage cheese, sugar, minced onion, melted butter, egg, salt, and dill seed.
-
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until the dough becomes stiff and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
-
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
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.
-
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, or shape into a round on a greased baking sheet.
-
Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until nearly doubled.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Remove from oven and immediately brush the warm loaf with softened butter, then sprinkle with salt.
