Right before serving, brush the bread with a little melted butter if desired, and sprinkle with coarse salt.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package active dry yeast
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup hot water (120 degrees)
1 cup large-curd low-fat cottage cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon dill seed
2 teaspoons finely minced onion
1/4 cup packed dill, snipped 1/4 inch long
1 large egg, lightly beaten, room temperature
Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • In the bowl of electric mixer, gently combine the yeast, 1/4 cup flour, and water. Let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the cottage cheese in the top of a double boiler full of boiling water, and stir until warm to the touch, or microwave until warm. Add the melted butter to the yeast mixture, and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Add the warmed cottage cheese, baking soda, sugar, salt, dill seed, onion, snipped dill, egg, and the remaining dry flour to the yeast mixture, and mix on high speed to make a stiff batter, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover, and set batter aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Spray an 8-inch cast-iron skillet generously with vegetable cooking spray, and set aside. Scrape out the batter, and pour it into the skillet. Spray plastic wrap with cooking spray, and place over the dough, pressing down on the wrap to even out the top of the dough. Lift the plastic wrap so it is not touching the surface of the dough, and let the dough stand in a warm place until doubled, about 25 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the plastic wrap, transfer the dough to the oven, and bake until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. If the bread begins to get too dark, cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Remove the pan from the oven, and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve the bread warm, cut into wedges.

COTTAGE CHEESE BREAD



Cottage Cheese Bread image

just a little something different. prep time doesn't include rising time. In the directions I didn't specify kneading. there are 2 schools of thought on this subject. I leave that up to your personal preference. I knead this type of bread but i've know people who don't. As long as the bread gets a good double in size rise you should have good results. You can either use dried herbs or fresh. I prefer fresh but have had good results with the dried. Just remember dried herbs tend to have a more concentrated flavor so you may what to cut back on the amount a bit if using dried herbs.

COTTAGE CHEESE LAVENDER HERB BREAD (ABM)



Cottage Cheese Lavender Herb Bread (Abm) image

A very unusual and delicious bread recipe! You could call this a high protein bread. No one can guess that cottage cheese is in this bread. Found on Whatscookingamerica.

Provided by Annacia

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h55m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F.)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1 cup fat-free cottage cheese (or low-fat)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh lavender flowers (or dried)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leave
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil leaf
2 eggs, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups bread flour or 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons bread flour or 3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons fast-rising active dry yeast
cornmeal (optional for dusting pan)

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except cornmeal in bread pan of your bread machine as manufacturer reccomenda. Select dough setting and press start.
  • When dough cycle has finished, remove dough from pan and turn out onto a lightly oiled surface. (I use a nonstick cooking spray. Form dough into an oval, cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • After resting, turn dough bottom side up and press to flatten. For baguettes (long, slender) or boules (round), divide the dough into 2 pieces and shape. For baguettes, fold dough into an envelope by folding the top 1/3 of the way to the bottom. Then fold the bottom a 1/3 of the way over the top. Then press dough with the palm of your hand to make an indentation down the center of the dough and fold the top completely to the bottom, sealing the seam with the palm of your hand.
  • Place on a jelly roll pan dusted with cornmeal. Cover and place in a warm spot to rise until the dough is doubled in bulk, approximately 30 to 50 minutes (depending on how warm your room is).
  • Oven Rising:.
  • Sometimes I use my oven for the rising. Turn the oven on for a minute or so, then turn it off again. This will warm the oven and make it a great environment for rising bread. If you can't comfortably press your hand against the inside of the oven door, the oven is too hot. Let it stand open to cool a bit.
  • Cool or Refrigerator Rise:.
  • If I don't have the time to wait for the rise to finish or I know that I will be interrupted before the completed rise, I do a cool rise. A cool rise is when the dough is place in the refrigerator and left to rise slowly over night approximately 8 to 12 hours. I usually do this after the first rise and the dough has been shaped into a loaf.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. After rising, slash or score the loaves with a very sharp knife making three 1/2-inch deep diagonal slashes. Bake for 20 minutes or until nicely browned and hollow sounding when tapped.

COTTAGE CHEESE DILL BREAD



Cottage Cheese Dill Bread image

Great for sandwiches. My husband won't eat bread that isn't baked at home (unless he is out somewhere) so I bake bread 3-4 times a week. This is a favorite for sandwiches.

Provided by Marsha Gardner

Categories     Savory Breads

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tbsp instant yeast
1/2 c warm water, 110-degrees
1 c cottage cheese, your choice, room temperature
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp onion, finely minced
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh dill, minced
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp olive oil, extra virgin
5-6 1/2 c bread flour

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the yeast and the water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and stir to dissolve the yeast. Add all remaining ingredients except flour to the bowl and mix until a dough has formed. Switch over to the dough hook and stir at low speed. Add flour 1 cup at a time until you have a soft dough that clears the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading on low speed for 5-6 minutes. Transfer the dough ball to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place. Let rise until the dough has doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • 2. When the dough has doubled, punch it down and shape into a log the size of a loaf pan. Place into a lightly greased loaf pan and press down gently so that the dough touches all sides of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise again in a warm place, 30-60 minutes. When the loaf has risen, remove the plastic wrap and preheat the oven to 350-degrees. Bake for 30 minutes, then cover with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning and bake another 15-20 minutes longer. Let cool for 5 minutes and then remove from pan and cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
