Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the creamed cottage cheese until it is lukewarm to the touch, ensuring it blends easily into the dough.
  2. Dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5âÂÂ10 minutes until foamy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm cottage cheese, sugar, minced onion, melted butter, egg, salt, and dill seeds.
  4. Stir in the yeast mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Knead the dough until it forms a stiff, smooth ball that is slightly tacky but not sticky; add more flour if necessary.
  7. 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.
  8. Punch down the dough to release air bubbles, then shape it into a loaf or a round on a greased baking sheet.
  9. Cover the shaped dough and let it rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.
  10. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and bake the bread for 30âÂÂ45 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  11. While still warm, brush the top with softened butter and sprinkle lightly with salt for extra flavor.
