Dilly Casserole Bread (1960)
2 c Up to 2 2/3 c Flour
2 tb Sugar
2 ts Up to 3 ts Instant minced onion
2 ts Dill seed
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Baking soda
1 pk Active dry yeast
1/4 c Water
1 tb Butter
1 c Creamed cottage cheese
1 Egg
2 ts Butter, melted
1/4 ts Coarse salt (opt)
In Small saucepan, heat water, 1 T butter and cottage cheese until very warm (120 to 130 degrees).
Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine 1 c flour, sugar, onion, dill seed, 1 t salt, baking soda and yeast; mix well. Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in remaining 1 c to 1 2/3 c flour to form a stiff batter. Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85 degrees) until light and doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
Generously grease 1 1/2 or 2 quart casserole. Stir down dough to remove all air bubbles. Turn into greased casserole. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover dough. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until deep golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from casserole; cool on wire rack. Brush warm loaf with melted butter; sprinkle with coarse salt.
