Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
2 teaspoons dill weed
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cream-style cottage cheese
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1 large egg, room temperature
2 teaspoons butter, melted
Coarse salt, optional

Directions

1

In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, onion, yeast, dill and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the cottage cheese, water and 1 tablespoon butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
2

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3

Punch dough down. Shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
4

Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with coarse salt if desired.
