Cottage Dill Bread Recipes

DILL BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a small saucepan, heat cottage cheese to 110°-115°; add to yeast mixture. Add fresh dill, butter, salt, sugar, dill seed, egg and 1 cup flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Do not knead. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; shape into a 6-in. circle. Transfer to a greased 9-in. round baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°., Bake until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped, 35-40 minutes. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Cut into wedges.

COTTAGE DILL LOAF

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, 1 tablespoon dill seed, 1 tablespoon onion, the salt and yeast. In 1-quart saucepan, heat water, cottage cheese and butter over medium heat, stirring frequently, until very warm (120°F to 130°F); stir into flour mixture until blended. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 8 minutes or until smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size. (If using fast-acting yeast, do not let rise 1 hour; cover and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.)
• Grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. Shape dough into oval loaf, about 12 inches long and 4 inches wide, tapering both ends slightly. Place on cookie sheet. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until double.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Brush water over dough; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon onion and 1 teaspoon dill seed. Make long slash, 1/4 inch deep, down center of loaf with sharp knife. Bake 10 minutes, spraying 3 separate times with water (use bottle with fine spray). Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool.

COTTAGE CHEESE DILL BREAD

Steps:

• Soften the yeast in the warm water and set aside.
• Heat the cottage cheese to lukewarm in a large bowl in the microwave.
• Stir in the dill, onion, sugar, butter, salt, dill seed, and baking soda.
• Stir in the yeast mixture and 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of whole wheat flour to form soft dough. Knead in the remaining flour on well-floured board, adding more all-purpose flour if necessary.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray. Let the dough rise until doubled in size (about an hour).
• Stir down the dough and turn it into well-greased loaf pan. Let the dough rise again for 30 minutes in a warm place.
• Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until top is a deep golden-brown color and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Brush with additional butter and sprinkle with salt, if desired.

NO KNEAD COTTAGE CHEESE DILL BREAD

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix whole wheat and all purpose flour with yeast, salt and sugar. Make well in flour and set aside.
• In medium sized pot over low heat, whisk together water, cottage cheese, oil, minced onions, dill, caraway or dill seeds and eggs. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes until lukewarm (100°F-110°F/38°C-43°C).
• Add liquid ingredients to flour mixing until there are no dry patches. Dough will be tough to stir, but too wet to knead.
• Cover with a clean cloth and let rise at room temperature for 2 hours or doubled in size.
• After rising, dough can be baked or wrapped in plastic and stored in fridge for up to 2 weeks.

COTTAGE DILL BREAD

Steps:

• Soften yeast in warm water. Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together and set aside. In saucepan heat the cottage cheese until lukewarm. Stir in shortening, sugar, onion, dill seed, dill weed, and baking soda. Pour this mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add yeast and well beaten egg and mix. Stir in the flour mixture a little at a time until a soft dough forms.
• Knead lightly on a floured surface until the dough is elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place about one hour. Punch down, cover and let rest about 10 minutes. Shape into a loaf and place into a greased 5 x 9 inch bread pan. Cover and let rise until double in bulk, about 30-40 minutes.
• Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes. If the top browns too fast, cover with foil. Remove from oven, brush top with melted butter and remove from pan about 10 minutes later.

DILL BREAD RECIPE FOR THE BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• This makes a two-pound loaf of bread. Use the basic setting with the medium crust option.
• Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first. (With my bread machine, I add the liquid first.)
• Check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. Just pop the top of the bread machine and see how the dough is doing. It should be a smooth, round ball. If needed, you can add a little water or flour.
• When I make this again, I'm going to try adding more dill.

COTTAGE CHEESE-DILL SKILLET BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of electric mixer, gently combine the yeast, 1/4 cup flour, and water. Let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the cottage cheese in the top of a double boiler full of boiling water, and stir until warm to the touch, or microwave until warm. Add the melted butter to the yeast mixture, and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Add the warmed cottage cheese, baking soda, sugar, salt, dill seed, onion, snipped dill, egg, and the remaining dry flour to the yeast mixture, and mix on high speed to make a stiff batter, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover, and set batter aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Spray an 8-inch cast-iron skillet generously with vegetable cooking spray, and set aside. Scrape out the batter, and pour it into the skillet. Spray plastic wrap with cooking spray, and place over the dough, pressing down on the wrap to even out the top of the dough. Lift the plastic wrap so it is not touching the surface of the dough, and let the dough stand in a warm place until doubled, about 25 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the plastic wrap, transfer the dough to the oven, and bake until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. If the bread begins to get too dark, cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Remove the pan from the oven, and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve the bread warm, cut into wedges.
