Directions

1 In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, onion, dill seed, 1 teaspoon salt, baking soda and yeast; mix well.
2 In small saucepan, heat water, 1 tablespoon margarine and cottage cheese until very warm (120 to 130°F.). Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture; blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed.
3 By hand, stir in remaining 1 to 1 2/3 cups flour to form a stiff batter. Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85°F.) until light and doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
4 Generously grease 1 1/2 or 2-quart casserole. Stir down batter to remove all air bubbles. Turn into greased casserole. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
5 Heat oven to 350°F. Uncover dough. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until loaf is deep golden brown and sounds hollow when lightly tapped. If necessary, cover with foil to prevent overbrowning. Remove from casserole; place on wire rack. Brush loaf with melted margarine; sprinkle with coarse salt. Cool 15 minutes. Serve warm or cool.

My favorite all time homemade bread recipe. I have made it for at least 30 years. It is a holiday favorite at my house and I have even given it as gifts. It is so easy to make! Making it this year again!

I hadn't made this bread for several years. I'm so glad I remembered this bread, it's more amazing than I remembered! I was short about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and substituted it with buttermilk. It didn't make any difference. This will be on the menu next time we have company!

I make it using all purpose multi-grain flour from Costco. I used 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 3 tsp dill. My family loves it this way.

I have been making this bread since I was a teenager. I found myself away from my house today and wanted to bake it. Knowing it was an old recipe my mom used to make, I went to the internet on the off chance it would be remembered here. I am so impressed!!! Thank you for keeping a favorite in your files. This bread is easy and always comes out moist and is a crowd-pleaser. I don't always mention the dill until everyone says they like it...Thanks Pillbury
