Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 egg, beaten
• Additional flour for dusting

Directions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add the cottage cheese, melted butter, dill, and beaten egg. Mix well.
3. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, adding additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. The dough should be elastic and smooth.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
7. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
8. Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown. The bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
11. Enjoy your homemade cottage dill bread with butter or your favorite accompaniment!
