Dill and Cheese Bread/Buns



Friday is often soup day around here and I like serving different breads along with the soup. This dill and cheese bread is a nice change, if you like the flavor of dill. If you do not have a blender, don't worry. I don't think I would use a blender next time, I like to see the cheese and onions in my buns.

In a blender combine the following:
  • 1/2 cup of very warm water
  • 1 cup of creamed cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons dill (I used 1 tbsp. dried)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
Mix together in a bowl:
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1/3 cup of wheat or oat bran
  • 1 tablespoon quick rise yeast
  1. Stir the dry ingredients until mixed through
  2. Pour the blender ingredients over the dry ingredients
  3. Knead for a few minutes adding a bit of flour at a time so the dough is not to sticky, about 1/4 cup in total is what I needed.
  4. Put the dough in a greased bowl and let rise til double.
  5. Make into buns or place it all into a greased casserole dish for a loaf of bread.
  6. Again let rise until double, about an hour.
  7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes for the loaf and 18-20 minutes for the buns.

  1. I received my book in the mail a last week (I'd pre-ordered months ago) and I just LOVE it, it is simply beautiful. Enjoying all the special features so much. Loved reading the girls bios, and the Bread for the Journey is always a favourite of mine, so I was so pleased to see it included in the book, and, of course, the recipes...well, I can't wait to try them out...delicious!!!

    I will be doing a review at my blog, as I am so pleased with it!

    Well done Ladies & thank you!

  3. These buns look very mmmmm. Any herb would work?

    REQUEST:

    I'd like to make a request for a particular post.

    For those of us who don't do it much, or have never:

    How do we prepare food to take to an event: a potluck, picnic, barbecue, or a meal or some food a time of crisis, or mourning.

    What kind of food works best? What should we think of, and what should we not consider at all?

    How do we package it; how do we keep the icing from getting smudged; what type of preparation should we do, or not (slicing etc, buttering?). Are some foods a better idea than otherss? Is it necessary to use ice, should we put it in a big container and set our smaller dish on top?

    Logistics.

    Thank you. S.

  6. Have this in the oven right now! Doing it as artisan bread in a cast iron Dutch oven (500F for first 15-18 min. then uncover & lower temp. to 450F for 18-20 min.). Used chives instead of onion flakes....fresh from the garden;-) The aroma is awesome!!!!

  7. Just wanted to stop by and say how much I'm enjoying your cookbook. I received it three days ago and have already been through it a couple times! I think it will be a well worn favorite!

    Special thanks to your publisher for giving me not only a review copy but a giveaway copy for my blog!

    Thanks for all the work you did on the book!
    Blessings,

  10. My husband's grandmother made these for him for many years, calling them "onion buns". She would not share the recipe with his mom (her daughter) or his 2 sisters (her granddaughters). She gave it to me when she was sure that we were really going to get married -- with the agreement that I not share it with them! I haven't, but imagine our surprise when we discovered it was first published in Good Housekeeping -- we all thought she'd created it! Thanks for posting this -- it's a favorite in our house.
