Steps:
- EQUIPMENT: You will need a medium sized mixing bowl, thermometer, blender, and an electric mixer.
- DRY INGREDIENTS: Measure one cup of the flour and put into a medium sized mixing bowl. (you will not use all the flour) Add sugar, salt, baking soda and yeast, stir to mix.
- WET MIXTURE: In a small saucpan, add the water, cottage cheese and butter. Heat while stirring until the thermometer reads 120 degrees.
- FIRST RISING: Break the egg into the dry ingredients and beat it with a fork, then add the wet mixture and mix well. Blend with the electric mixer until moist, then beat for 3 minutes at medium speed. Trade your mixer for a wooden spoon and stir in the remaining 1 to 1 2/3 cups of flour by hand to form a soft dough. Use the same bowl you mixed it in. Cover with a tea towel and place in a warm place to rise. I use my oven with the light on. Let it rise until doubled in size. about 45 to 60 minutes.
- PREPARE YOUR CASSEROLE DISH FOR BAKING: Choose a 2 1/2 to 3 quart casserole dish and grease it or use Pam spray. Set aside. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- SECOND RISING: After the dough has risen, uncover and punch it down to remove the air bubbles, add as little flour as necessary. Turn the dough into the greased casserole dish, and cover and let rise until doubled in size about 45 minutes, then uncover and place in the pre-heated oven (350 degrees) and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. It sounds hollow inside when tapped lightly. Remove the bread from the casserole dish, and butter the top, and place on a wire rack to cool before slicing. Enjoy!

BONNIE'S DILL AND ONION CASSEROLE BREAD
The texture of this outstanding bread is surpisingly light on the inside with a nicely browned, chewy crust on the outside. I fell in love with the taste, the texture and the method of baking it in a casserole dish. The smell will kill you with joy! My husband loved it and hovered in the kitchen, waiting for it to come out of the oven. He got the knife out of the drawer, and cut a big chunk for himself. I made him wait while I took the picture. He wants to know if I will make this again. What do you think? Enjoy! The photo is my own. 1960 recipe by Leona Schnuelle

- COOK'S TIP: For plain feather light white bread using this technique, go here for the recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/utahn/white-bread-feather-light/other-bread
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the casserole's ingredients, such as a French baguette or a sourdough loaf.
- Use fresh herbs and vegetables: Fresh herbs and vegetables will give the casserole the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is done when the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking the casserole will make the bread dry and tough.
- Serve the casserole hot: The casserole is best served hot from the oven. You can also make the casserole ahead of time and reheat it in the oven before serving.
Conclusion:
Bonnie's Dill and Onion Casserole Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. The casserole is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be tailored to your own taste. For example, you can add different herbs or vegetables, or you can use a different type of cheese. The casserole is also a great way to use up leftover bread.
