INGREDIENTS:
MAKES 2 LOAVES
- 20ml/4 tsp active dried yeast
- 475ml/16fl oz/2 cups lukewarm water
- 30ml/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1.05kg/2lb 5½oz/9¼ cups strong white bread flour
- ½ onion, chopped
- 60ml/4 tablespoon oil
- 1 large bunch of dill, finely chopped
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 165g/5½oz/¾ cup cottage cheese
- 20ml/4 tsp salt
- Milk, for glazing.
STEPS:
- Mix together the yeast, water and sugar in a large bowl and leave for 15 minutes to dissolve.
- Stir in about half of the flour. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
- In a frying pan, cook the onion in 15ml/1 tbsp of the oil until soft. Set aside to cool, then stir into the yeast mixture. Stir the dill, eggs, cottage cheese, salt and remaining oil into the yeast. Gradually add the remaining flour until too stiff to stir.
- Transfer to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a bowl, cover and leave to rise until doubled in volume, 1-1½ hours.
- Grease a large baking sheet. Cut the dough in half and shape into two rounds. Leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/ Gas 5. Score the tops, brush with the milk and bake until brown, about 50 minutes. Cool on a rack.
