Dilly Bread

In large bowl of a mixer stir together 1 cup flour, sugar, onion, dill, salt, soda and yeast.

In a small saucepan heat the cottage cheese, water and butter until very warm (120°).

Add to the flour mixture with the egg.

Beat at low speed until dry ingredients are moistened.

Beat at medium speed for 3 minutes. With a wooden spoon, stir in enough flour to make a stiff dough. Cover with plastic film, let rise in a draft free warm (80°) place until doubled, about 1hour.

With the spoon, work dough enough to stir down.

Turn into a well-greased 8-inch round casserole dish. Cover and let rise as previously until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes. Bake in preheated oven at 350° until brown.

Turn out on wire rack, turn right side up.

Delicious served still warm with butter. Good served the next day if stored tightly covered at room temperature.
