Made with unusual ingredients, this is a moist, flavorful loaf especially recommended for ham sandwiches.
Yield: 1 loaf
- 1 package dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 cup lukewarm creamed cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon soft butter
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons dill seed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon soda
- 1 egg
- 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 cups flour
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, butter, onion, dill seed, salt, soda, and the egg. Add to the yeast mixture, and gradually add enough flour to make a stiff dough, beating well after each addition. Place dough in a greased bowl to rise, and cover it with a light towel. When the dough has doubled in bulk, punch down, turn into a well-buttered round 2-quart casserole or a conventional bread pan and let rise again until light. Bake the bread in a moderate oven (375 degrees F) for 40-50 minutes. Brush the surface with butter.
Poppy seed, caraway, or sesame seed may be substituted for the dill seed or used with it.
