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.

COTTAGE CHEESE AND CHIVE BREAD ( BREAD MACHINE )

Steps:

• Measure and add ingredients to YOUR bread maker according to YOUR instructions. (Mine takes all liquids first, then dry ingredients, with the yeast last.).
• Select the "Sweet Bread" setting.
• Select "Crust Color" medium.
• Press Start, walk away, come back 2 hours and 50 minutes later to behold your creation!
• Notes:.
• Cottage cheese - I drain all the whey that will readily pour off but don't actually strain it to remove all the liquid. I suppose the drained liquid could replace all or part of the water but I haven't tried it.
• Dough Consistency - As with all bread recipes, more flour or water may be needed depending on the humidity. Watch during the first knead & if the bread looks too dry, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough gathers up. Likewise, if the dough looks to wet (my machine makes a louder noise when this is the case) sprinkle in flour.

COTTAGE CHEESE DILL BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Combine the yeast and the water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and stir to dissolve the yeast. Add all remaining ingredients except flour to the bowl and mix until a dough has formed. Switch over to the dough hook and stir at low speed. Add flour 1 cup at a time until you have a soft dough that clears the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading on low speed for 5-6 minutes. Transfer the dough ball to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place. Let rise until the dough has doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
• 2. When the dough has doubled, punch it down and shape into a log the size of a loaf pan. Place into a lightly greased loaf pan and press down gently so that the dough touches all sides of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise again in a warm place, 30-60 minutes. When the loaf has risen, remove the plastic wrap and preheat the oven to 350-degrees. Bake for 30 minutes, then cover with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning and bake another 15-20 minutes longer. Let cool for 5 minutes and then remove from pan and cool to room temperature on a wire rack.

COTTAGE CHEESE DILL BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

COTTAGE CHEESE LAVENDER HERB BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except cornmeal in bread pan of your bread machine as manufacturer reccomenda. Select dough setting and press start.
• When dough cycle has finished, remove dough from pan and turn out onto a lightly oiled surface. (I use a nonstick cooking spray. Form dough into an oval, cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes.
• After resting, turn dough bottom side up and press to flatten. For baguettes (long, slender) or boules (round), divide the dough into 2 pieces and shape. For baguettes, fold dough into an envelope by folding the top 1/3 of the way to the bottom. Then fold the bottom a 1/3 of the way over the top. Then press dough with the palm of your hand to make an indentation down the center of the dough and fold the top completely to the bottom, sealing the seam with the palm of your hand.
• Place on a jelly roll pan dusted with cornmeal. Cover and place in a warm spot to rise until the dough is doubled in bulk, approximately 30 to 50 minutes (depending on how warm your room is).
• Oven Rising:.
• Sometimes I use my oven for the rising. Turn the oven on for a minute or so, then turn it off again. This will warm the oven and make it a great environment for rising bread. If you can't comfortably press your hand against the inside of the oven door, the oven is too hot. Let it stand open to cool a bit.
• Cool or Refrigerator Rise:.
• If I don't have the time to wait for the rise to finish or I know that I will be interrupted before the completed rise, I do a cool rise. A cool rise is when the dough is place in the refrigerator and left to rise slowly over night approximately 8 to 12 hours. I usually do this after the first rise and the dough has been shaped into a loaf.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. After rising, slash or score the loaves with a very sharp knife making three 1/2-inch deep diagonal slashes. Bake for 20 minutes or until nicely browned and hollow sounding when tapped.

Cover and let it stand in a warm place (If in doubt about how warm, see June issue of FAMILY CIRCLE) for an hour to an hour and 20 minutes.

• 2. Put bowl in warm place and allow dough to raise until double, about 30 minutes.
• 3. Prepare two 9" x 5" bread pans by either greasing or spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
• 4. When dough has doubled in size, punch down and shape into loaves. Place dough into prepared bread pans and allow to raise until just above the edge of the pan.
• 5. Put pans in preheated 350^ oven and bake approximately 40 minutes until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and allow to sit in pans about 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack.
• 6. NOTE: This was originally a bread machine recipe but I found that it produces too much dough and raises way too much to be prepared in bread machine. You can use the bread machine for the mixing/kneading, if desired, and then treat like a traditional loaf of bread to bake. I have baked in bread pans and also shaped into an oblong loaf on a baking sheet to resemble a loaf of French bread. Both methods turn out well.
