I loved this bread. Without a doubt the lightest, fluffiest bread to come out of my bread machine. I think the cottage cheese is that "special something" that makes the bread so light and flavourful. Like other reviewers have mentioned, you need to reduce the yeast to 2tsp.

I tried this for a dinner party and everyone loved it. It was perfect with the marinated chicken breasts and veggies. I used a combination of dill weed and dill seeds. Of course, I used 1 1/2 teaspoons (not Tablespoons) of yeast.

This is the only bread recipe that will rise for me every time. I used dill weed instead of dill seed, and it turned out fantastic. Thanks for such a great recipe.

This recipe was amazing. It taste just right, I butter the crust with butter and dill mixture. This is a keeper. I just add everything to the kitchenaid and use the good old rise and double method. Didn't have dry powder milk, instead of water used 2/3 cups of milk instead.

Very good! I used 1/3 whole wheat flour and dried dillweed instead of seed, and just used the dough cycle on the bread machine. Then I shaped into twelve dinner rolls, sprinkled with water and baked on a sheet dusted with cornmeal at 375 for about 15 minutes. Ended up with these wonderful rustic, crusty rolls. Will definitely make again - with probably both dillweed and seed next time!

Did not use machine, made this by hand. The amount of yeast should probably be cut in half, and it would have been much better. A packet of yeast is 2 1/4 tsp, so doubled is 4 1/2 tsp, or 1 1/2 T. A typical loaf of bread uses 1 packet yeast. I'll try it again using 1/2 the amount of yeast called for.

Love this bread! The flavor is OUTSTANDING! I do have the bread machine do it's thing and let take it out and bake it in the oven. I love to slice the bread, top with a thick slice of cheddar and stick it in the toaster oven until the cheese is melted.

I have this same recipe in my bread machine cookbook, although the directions are to make the dough, turn it out and shape into an an Italian/French Bread type loaf. It says to let rise, then bake in an oven for about 350 (I'm too lazy to look it up, but most bread bakes at 350) for 30 minutes. It's very good. Took it with us when we went up to bf's parents and everyone loved it. It is good, easy, and uses up some of that cottage cheese. I didn't use minced onion; substituted garlic instead. For those of you who would prefer to make it by hand and need some direction, check out the tips and advice on this site. There is a bread making tutorial that should help.

Waaay back in the '70s, this recipe really made the rounds, only we baked it in a casserole dish! Because I already knew it was delicious, I wanted to try this recipe with the bread machine method. Still delicious! Very moist, and subtley flavored by the dill seed (from last summer's garden!). I had to substitute 1 tsp. onion powder for the minced dried onion and, while it was good, I think I like it with the minced dried onion better so I'll be sure to add it to my grocery list. Might be good with minced fresh onion too! Also, the amount of yeast seemed excessive--I used 2 tsp. of bread machine yeast and I had a perfectly risen loaf.

This is my absolutely favorite bread - so delicious - I would have actually given it for stars, because my bread machine will not bake it - it falls every time. I've tried everything - less yeast, less sugar, less salt, everything. Since I believe it's my bread machine and not the recipe, I still gave it 5 stars. I just put it in the bread machine on the dough cycle, and then take it out and let it rise again and bake it as if I had done all the work myself. Absolutely scrumptious bread.
