Dilly Bread Recipe

This is a delicious, moist bread. The dill flavor makes a nice addition to a sandwich. This recipe can also be made into dinner rolls, and the little flakes of dill add a pretty green color to the rolls. Dill can be grown in the garden. Mom’s dill would come up year after year, but I haven’t had as much luck with mine.

1 package active dry yeast
1/4  cup warm water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
1 tablespoon dry dill seed or dill weed
1/4  teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
2 1/2 cups bread flour
