2 tbsp. dry yeast
1/2 c. warm water
4 tbsp. fresh dill or 2 tsp. dry dill
2 tbsp. softened butter
2 c. cottage cheese
4 tbsp. brown sugar
4 tbsp. minced onion
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 slightly beaten eggs
4 1/2 c. flour

Stir yeast into warm water and set aside. Mix dill with butter. Combine cottage cheese, sugar, onion, salt, soda, eggs and flour. Add yeast and butter mixture. Work into a dough and knead for about 5 minutes - it will be sticky. Let dough rise for 30 minutes and then shape into 2 loaves. Let them rise in the loaf pans for 15 minutes. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees until golden. Thump the bottom of the pans - they will sound hollow when done. Yield: 2 loaves.
