BONNIE'S DILL AND ONION CASSEROLE BREAD

Steps:

• 1. EQUIPMENT: You will need a medium size mixing bowl, a thermometer, blender, and an electric mixer.
• 2. DRY INGREDIENTS: Measure one cup of the flour and put it into a medium size mixing bowl. (you will not use all the flour) Add sugar, onion, dill seed, salt, baking soda and yeast, stir to mix.
• 3. WET MIXTURE: Blend the cottage cheese until smooth. In a small saucpan, add the water, cottage cheese and butter. Heat while stirring until the thermometer reads 120 degrees. Remove from heat.
• 4. FIRST RISING: Break the egg into the dry ingredients and beat it with a fork, then add the wet mixture and mix well. Blend with the electric mixer until moist, then beat for 3 minutes at medium speed. Trade your mixer for a wooden spoon and stir in the remaining 1 to 1 2/3 cups of flour by hand to form a soft dough. Leave in the bowl you mixed it in, and cover with a tea towel and place in a warm place to rise. I use my oven with the light on. Let it rise until doubled in size. about 45 to 60 minutes.
• 5. PREPARE YOUR CASSEROLE DISH FOR BAKING: Choose a 1 1/2 to 2 quart casserole dish and grease it or use Pam spray. Set aside. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• 6. SECOND RISING: After the dough has risen, uncover and punch it down to remove the air bubbles, add as little flour as necessary. Turn the dough into the greased casserole dish, and cover and let rise until doubled in size about 45 minutes, then uncover and place in the pre-heated oven (350 degrees) and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. It sounds hollow inside when tapped lightly. Remove the bread from the casserole dish, and butter the top (you may sprinkle with coarse salt if you wish) and place on a wire rack to cool before slicing. Enjoy!

DILL AND ONION BREAD (AKA DILLY CASSEROLE BREAD)

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, sugar, onion, dill weed, dill seed, salt, bake soda and yeast). Lightly stir to mix. Set aside.
• 2. Pour the first four ingredients, (water, egg, cottage cheese and butter), into the bread machine mixing well.
• 3. ADD the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl on top of the wet ingredients in the bread machine.
• 4. Set bread machine for a one-pound loaf, dark crust, Basic White dough. NOTE: If you want a chewier texture to the crust, set French Bread setting instead of Basic White. Push START.
• 5. When the last alarm rings on the machine to indicate you can stop and remove the mixing paddle, do so at this time. NOTE: At this point, you can choose to turn out the dough, roll/fold into a ball and set inside a medium-sized greased casserole dish for its last rise. SLICE the top of the dough down the center about a one-inch deep. Brush melted butter on top. SPRINKLE with coarse salt and dill weed for added flavor (optional). Cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour to 90-minutes until at least doubled in size. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN IT OUT, simply remove the paddle and return the dough to the center of the machine and it will finish rising and baking according to your machine settings, IF baking in the machine, when you return the dough to the well center, slice top of dough, brush with melted butter and sprinkle top with coarse salt and dill weed for added flavor (optional).
• 6. IF baking in oven, bake at 350-degrees for 35-45 minutes. Bread is done when golden brown on top and when bread sounds hollow when touching the top.
• 7. When baking is complete, turn finished bread out and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving with softened butter. Store in bread box or lightly cover with plastic wrap. NOTE: some bakers like to brush melted butter on top when the bread comes out of the oven and that's an option. I don't do that because I feel it speeds up the aging process of day old bread.
• 8. NOTE: This bread doesn't keep well for more than two days. If you have leftovers, you should consider cutting into cubes and toasting to make croutons or running through a mill grinder to make savory bread crumbs for stuffing, meatloaf mix, coating on pork chops or other foods as your imagination takes you.

FAST YEAST BREAD WITH ONION AND DILL

Steps:

• Scald the milk and dissolve in it the sugar, salt and butter; cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the cooled milk, flour, onion and herbs.
• Stir well with a large wooden spoon.
• When the batter is smooth, cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until triple in bulk- about 45 minutes. Stir down, and beat vigorously for a few minutes, then turn into a greased bread pan.
• Let it stand for 10 minutes before putting into a preheated 350 deg. oven. Bake about one hour.
• The dough will be sticky- resist the urge to add too much flour. My bread was done in 50 minutes. Of course you can vary the herbs. Delicious!
