2 T. yeast
1 c. water, warmed
2 T. minced onions
4 t. Dill seed
1/2 t. baking soda
5 c. flour
4 T. sugar
2 T. butter
2 t. salt
2 eggs, unbeaten
2 c. cottage cheese
Soften yeast in water. Combine in bowl, cottage cheese, sugar, onion, butter, dill seed, salt, soda, eggs and softened yeast. Add flour to form stiff dough, beating well after each addition. (For first addition of flour, use mixer on low speed.) Cover, let rise until light and double in size 50-60 minutes. Stir down dough and make in loaves. Let rise 30 to 40 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
This is how to roll out the dough to make a braided loaf.
The dough.
Roll out in long rectangle and cut in half with pizza cutter.
Then cut each half in half giving you 4 sections.
Pinch one edge all together getting ready to braid.
Do a normal braid with the right 3 sections - think over over...
With the last section on the left- braid that piece under. As you braid always start from the right saying over, over, under and you'll get the braid right.
Next fold the remaining end under.
Here is the braid ready to cook. (Brush with beaten egg to get finished brown glaze look.)
The finished product.
