2 1/2 c. flour
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. instant minced onion
2 tsp. dill seed
1 c. cream style cottage cheese
1/4 c. water
1 tbsp. butter
1 lg. egg
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 pkg. dry yeast

In the large bowl of an electric mixer stir together 1 cup of flour, the sugar, onion, dill, salt, soda, and yeast. In a small saucepan heat cottage cheese, water, and butter until very warm. Add to flour mixture with the egg; beat on low speed until dry ingredients are moistened. Beat at medium speed for 3 minutes.

With wooden spoon stir in enough flour to make a stiff dough. Cover with plastic film; let rise until double, about 1 hour. With the spoon, work dough enough to stir down. Turn into a well-greased 8-inch round (1 1/2-quart) casserole dish; cover and let rise until double, 30-45 minutes.

Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until brown. Turn out on rack; butter top. Makes 1 loaf. Serve warm or cold.
