Dilly Bread

It was a week––busier than usual with work. Today I felt like a drone. I'd planned to weed the garden but was rained out. The highlights of the lazy day were watching Globetrekker with Sarah and making bread to go with our dinner salads. The dilly bread recipe is my grandmother's; the smell of it baking "is" her house. Here is the recipe:

Lita Loch Dill Bread

Soften 1 pkg yeast in 1/4 c. warm water. Heat 1 c. cottage cheese; add to 1/4 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp dill seed, 1 tbs minced onion, 2 tbs butter, 1 tsp salt and 1 egg. Combine and stir well. Add about 2 1/2 cups of flour and knead. Let rise 1 hr. Punch down and make into loaf or round in buttered cake or bread pan. Let rise 30 min. Bake 40-50 min at 350 degrees. Butter top well. Cool 1 hr before slicing.
