2 1/2 to 3 c. flour, unsifted
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. dried, minced onion
2 tsp. dill seed
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 c. creamed cottage cheese
1/4 c. warm water
1 tbsp. butter
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl combine first 7 ingredients, minus 1 cup of flour.

In saucepan heat cottage cheese, water, and butter until mixture is very warm, but not boiling. Add to flour mixture. Blend with mixer (dough hook works best) until mixture is moistened; add egg and mix for 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in remaining flour to form a stiff dough.

Cover with damp cloth; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Stir down dough.

Turn into well greased 1 1/2 to 2 quart oven proof casserole dish. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 30-45 minutes. If desired, after removing from oven, brush with melted butter and coarse salt.
