Directions

  1. 1. Combine the yeast with the warm water and a pinch of sugar; stir to dissolve. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
  2. 2. With an electric mixer, blend the bloomed yeast with the sugar, cottage cheese, salt and egg.
  3. 3. Add the flour in 1/2 cup portions to form a stiff but light dough. Cover and place in a warm draft free place. Let rise for one hour or until doubled in volume.
  4. 4. Punch the dough down and turn out on to a floured work surface. Add the cheddar cheese while you are keading the dough. Continue keading until you have a firm but elastic dough.
  5. 5. Prepare a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Transfer the dough into the dish. Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  6. 6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the top with butter. Let cool on a wire rack.
