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 AND CHIVE BREAD ( BREAD MACHINE )
The original recipe was in the instruction book for my ABM (an Oster 2 Pound Expressbake). This bread is quite dense and very moist with a crisp crust. It slices easily and makes wonderful toast and sandwiches. It's our favorite of all the recipes I've tried so far. The cottage cheese is all but invisible in the bread so don't worry about offending those who turn up their noses at the mention of it. I find it to be a sneaky way to get added calcium into their diets.

Steps:
- Measure and add ingredients to YOUR bread maker according to YOUR instructions. (Mine takes all liquids first, then dry ingredients, with the yeast last.).
- Select the "Sweet Bread" setting.
- Select "Crust Color" medium.
- Press Start, walk away, come back 2 hours and 50 minutes later to behold your creation!
- Notes:.
- Cottage cheese - I drain all the whey that will readily pour off but don't actually strain it to remove all the liquid. I suppose the drained liquid could replace all or part of the water but I haven't tried it.
- Dough Consistency - As with all bread recipes, more flour or water may be needed depending on the humidity. Watch during the first knead & if the bread looks too dry, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough gathers up. Likewise, if the dough looks to wet (my machine makes a louder noise when this is the case) sprinkle in flour.

COTTAGE CHEESE BREAD
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.

Steps:
- soften yeast in warm water.
- bring butter, cheese and egg to room temperature mix all ingredients except flour. add yeast to this mixture and mix well.
- gradually add enough flour to make a firm dough.
- cover and let rise 1 hr or until doubled.
- punch down and put in a well buttered 1 1/2 qt casserole. cover and let rise 30 minutes.
- bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes.
- turn out and brush with butter and sprinkle with coarse salt. serve warm or cold.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh lavender and thyme add a burst of flavor to this bread. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon dried lavender and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then knead it for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the bread rise in a warm place: This will help the bread to rise properly and give it a light and fluffy texture.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
This cottage cheese lavender herb bread is a delicious and unique bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made in a bread machine or by hand. The bread is light and fluffy with a slightly sweet flavor. The lavender and thyme add a subtle floral and herbaceous flavor that makes this bread truly special.
