Grandma’s Dilly Bread

2 ¼ tsp instant yeast
¼ C warm water
1 C creamed cottage cheese
2 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp fresh minced onion
1 Tbsp butter
2 or more Tbsp dill seed
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp baking soda
1 unbeaten egg
2 ¼ to 2 ½ C flour

Take 1 C cottage cheese, mash a bit, and heat to lukewarm. Soften yeast in ¼C water. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, onion, butter, dill, salt, baking soda, and egg. Mix yeast and cottage cheese, and add to the rest of the ingredients. Add flour, and mix to form a stiff dough. Turn into a well greased round 2 quart casserole dish. Let rise until the top of the dish.

Bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes, until golden brown. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with salt or garlic salt.
