Crusty Cheddar Bread

Directions

• The cottage cheese should be the small curd kind at room temperature.

** You can use up to an extra ¼ cup of flour in this recipe depending on the weather.

Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let stand 5 minutes.

Gently stir to completely dissolve.

With an electric mixer, blend the softened yeast into the cottage cheese, sugar, salt and egg.

Add the flour in ½ cup portions to form a stiff but light dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk.

Butter a 1½ quart casserole dish and stir the dough down, then add 1 cup of the grated cheddar cheese.

Turn into the buttered dish.

Let rise 30 to 40 minutes longer or until almost doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the top with butter.
