Recipes

Heat Oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl sprinkle yeast and sugar over water. Let dissolve in a warm place. If your home is not warm enough pull down your oven door and turn it on 200-250 and let it sit on the opened door.

Heat Cottage Cheese, Honey and Butter in a sauce pan until lukewarm. Add Salt and Baking Soda and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in 1/2 a cup of your flour until combined. Mix the Cottage Cheese mixture in with the yeast mixture. Add the egg and stir well. Stir in remaining flour to make a firm ball of dough. Knead in the Cheese (I use a spatula to knead in the cheese because the dough can be sticky). Turn the dough out onto a work surface and wipe out the bowl. Lightly oil the bowl then return the dough to it. Place a damp, hot cloth over the bowl and let it rise in a warm place (the door of the oven) for 30 minutes.

Turn dough out onto a greased cookie sheet and shape into a 10 inch round loaf. Bake until top is nicely browned and bread feels firm. 35-40 minutes. Melt some butter over the top and cool on a wire rack until ready to serve.
