Ingredients
-
1/2 cup warm water (110-115 F)
-
1 cup small curd low fat cottage cheese, drained slightly but not dry
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-
3 3/4 cups bread flour
-
3 tablespoons chopped chives (I use fresh but 2-3 teaspoons of dried would work)
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
-
1 egg, slightly beaten
Instructions
- Measure and add ingredients to YOUR bread maker according to YOUR instructions. (Mine takes all liquids first, then dry ingredients, with the yeast last.).
- Select the “Sweet Bread†setting.
- Select “Crust Color†medium.
- Press Start, walk away, come back 2 hours and 50 minutes later to behold your creation!
- Notes:
- Cottage cheese - I drain all the whey that will readily pour off but don't actually strain it to remove all the liquid. I suppose the drained liquid could replace all or part of the water but I haven't tried it.
- Dough Consistency - As with all bread recipes, more flour or water may be needed depending on the humidity. Watch during the first knead & if the bread looks too dry, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough gathers up. Likewise, if the dough looks to wet (my machine makes a louder noise when this is the case) sprinkle in flour.
