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.)

Use a spray bottle that has a fine mist, so the water is evenly distributed over the loaf.SUCCESS TIPThe dough may look too dry at the beginning of mixing. Don't add additional liquid, however, until the dough has mixed for a few minutes because as the cottage cheese breaks up, it will add moisture to the dough.ShapingMake long slash, 1/4-inch deep, down center of loaf.From "Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook, The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way."
