Dill Casserole Bread

Directions

Stir yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar into the warm water. Let stand until foamy.

Warm the cottage cheese until lukewarm.

Combine the flour, remaining sugar, onion, dill, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.

Add the egg, butter, cottage cheese and yeast mixture.

Stir to form a soft dough. (Or mix in a food processor.)

Cover and let rise in a warm spot until dough has doubled, about 1 hour.

Stir down dough.

Transfer to a greased 1½ to 2 quart casserole.

Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 40 minutes.

Heat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Bake bread until it is well browned, 40 to 45 minutes.

Cool in the pan 5 minutes; loosen from the sides of the casserole and invert onto a wire rack.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
