Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Meanwhile, heat cottage cheese and butter until the butter is just melted and mixture is lukewarm.
- Combine sugar, instant onion, dill weed, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Add the warm cottage cheese and butter mixture; mix well.
- Add the beaten egg; mix well.
- Add the yeast mixture; mix thoroughly.

Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, ensure your cottage cheese is at room temperature before mixing. If you don't have dill weed, fresh dill can be used for a more vibrant flavor. Additionally, you can substitute some of the flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist. If you prefer a hint of sweetness, adding a tablespoon of honey can enhance the flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
Sadie's Dilly Bread is delicious on its own, but it pairs beautifully with soups and salads for a complete meal. Consider serving it alongside a fresh green salad or a bowl of tomato soup. You can also spread a bit of cream cheese or herb butter on top for an extra indulgent treat. For a delightful breakfast, serve it with a side of scrambled eggs.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftover dilly bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing individual slices in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply pop the slices in the toaster or warm them in the oven at 350°F until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of cottage cheese?
Yes, you can substitute cottage cheese with ricotta or Greek yogurt for a similar texture. Each option will impart a slightly different flavor, so choose according to your preference.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make Sadie's Dilly Bread gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to add a binding agent like xanthan gum if your blend doesn’t already contain it.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If the dough feels too sticky, gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a soft but manageable consistency. Avoid adding too much flour at once, as this can make the bread dense.
