The Man of the House and I used to participate in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program. Once a week we’d get a variety of veggies fresh from the farm.
One week our farm share included fresh dill.
I knew I’d seen a recipe for dill bread and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to give it a try.
I was a bit dubious about the cottage cheese in the recipe. I tried it anyway and you know what? The bread was VERY good. It had a lovely taste and texture.
The bread tasted great toasted and topped with cream cheese. We also used this savory bread in sandwiches.
Cottage Cheese
I’ve seen some recipes for dill bread that recommend you warm the cottage cheese before adding to the bread pan. This is because the temperature of the cold cottage cheese might affect the yeast and cause the bread not to rise as much.
If your machine is like my Zojirushi and has a warming cycle, that’s not needed. If your machine doesn’t have a warming or preheat cycle, you’ll want to warm the cottage cheese.

Making Dill Bread
This makes a two-pound loaf of bread. Use the basic setting with the medium crust option.
Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first. (With my bread machine, I add the liquid first.)
Check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. Just pop the top of the bread machine and see how the dough is doing. It should be a smooth, round ball. If needed, you can add a little water or flour.
When I make this again, I’m going to try adding more dill.
