1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 c. creamed cottage cheese
1 tbsp. instant minced onion
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. butter (softened)
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. very warm water
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. dill seed
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 egg
Salt and butter

In large mixer bowl, soften yeast in warm water. In small saucepan, heat cottage cheese to lukewarm. Combine cottage cheese, sugar, onion, dill seed, 1 teaspoon salt, soda, butter and egg with softened yeast. Add 1 1/2 cups flour; beat with mixer for 2 minutes at medium speed.

By hand stir in remaining 1 cup flour. Mix thoroughly and cover. Let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size (50-60 minutes).

Generously grease (not oil) 8-inch round (1 1/2 or 2-quart) casserole. Stir down dough; turn into greased casserole. Let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size (30-40 minutes).

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 40-50 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan. Brush with soft butter and sprinkle with salt. Makes one loaf.

TIP: For use with self-rising flour, omit salt and soda.
