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.

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.

Categories     Bread

Yield 1 big loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pkg active dry yeast
¼ cup very warm water
8 oz cream-style cottage cheese
¼ cup butter or shortening
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp minced onion
2 tsp dill seed
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp baking soda
1 well- beaten egg
2 ¼ to 2 ½ cups all-purpose or unbleached flour
Some melted butter and some extra dill seed

Steps:

  • Soften yeast in the water while you heat the cottage cheese in a saucepan to lukewarm. Stir in the shortening, sugar, onion, dill seed, salt, and baking soda. Add this to the yeast water business (which you've put in a large bowl now) and beat in the egg. Add the flour, a bit at a time, stirring to make a soft dough. Now. Ready? Take a deep breath and start kneading, on a lightly floured board, and keep it up for 5 minutes. Put it in a greased bowl, turning the dough over once to grease its bottom. Cover and let it stand in a warm place (If in doubt about how warm, see June issue of FAMILY CIRCLE) for an hour to an hour and 20 minutes. Punch it down, cover, let it rest for 10 minutes, then shape it into 2 small loaves in greased loaf pans or 1 round loaf in a casserole dish. Cover and let rise again till nearly double, 30-45 minutes. Bake at 350˚ for 40 minutes. Then remove from pans-preferably on a wire rack so the air can circulate-then brush with melted butter and sprinkle with the extra dill seed.

1 cup creamed cottage cheese
2 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP dry minced onion or 2 TBSP fresh onion finely diced
1 Tbsp margarine
2 Tbsp dill seed

Bake at 350 for 40 - 50 minutes. COVER with tinfoil last 15 minutes to prevent excessive browning.

Tips:

  • Use fresh dill: Fresh dill adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the bread. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried dill, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread rise in a warm place: This will help the bread to rise properly and develop a light and fluffy texture.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 190°F (88°C) as measured by an instant-read thermometer.

Dill cottage cheese bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion.
