Cottage Cheese Bread

A kind lady at church shared this recipe with me. She had made it at one of our ladies luncheons and I loved it. It's easy to make!

1pkg dry yeast

1/4 c lukewarm water

2 t minced green onion tops

1T butter or margarine, softened

1 t salt

1 t oregano

1 c small curd cottage cheese at room temperature

2 T sugar

1/4 t baking powder

1 egg

2-2 1/2 c flour

Soften yeast in warm water. Mix other ingredients except flour; add yeast mixture and beat well. Gradually add flour.

No need to knead! Cover bowl and let batter rise for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Punch down and put in well greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Turn out while warm, brush with butter and sprinkle with coarse salt. Serve warm or cold.

Helpful himts:

To soften yeast, use lukewarm water. Mix in yeast and let set about 5 minutes.

Bread needs warm, draft-free place to rise. You can use your oven. If it's electric, turn on the oven light, it provides just enough warmth for the bred to rise.  Just be sure oven isn't on while rising!
