Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups Warm water
- 0.75 cups Cottage cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Chives, finely chopped
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
Add the warm water, cottage cheese, and egg to your bread machine's baking pan. Ensure the wet ingredients are evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the flour over the wet ingredients, covering them completely. This creates a barrier to keep the yeast separate from the wet mixture at the start.
Add the sugar, salt, and chopped chives evenly over the flour. Place the softened butter in small pieces around the edges of the flour.
Make a small well in the center of the flour (without reaching the wet layer) and add the active dry yeast. This helps the yeast activate properly during the kneading process.
Secure the baking pan into your bread machine and select the Basic or White Bread setting. Set the crust preference (light, medium, or dark) if your machine allows it. Typically, the cycle should take around 2.5 to 3 hours to complete.
Start the machine and let it knead, rise, and bake the bread. Avoid opening the lid during the baking cycle to ensure consistent results.
Once the bread machine beeps, signaling completion, carefully remove the baking pan using oven mitts as it will be hot.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then gently turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your cottage cheese and chive bread with butter or as a side dish!
