In a small bowl, dissolve the packet of active dry yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water (about 110°F). Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently warm the cottage cheese until lukewarm. Do not overheat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm cottage cheese, granulated sugar, dried dill weed, minced onion, melted butter, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the foamy yeast mixture and the egg. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 50 to 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish or an 8-inch round baking pan.
Punch down the dough to release excess air and transfer it into the prepared dish. Spread it out evenly.
Cover the dish with the towel again and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the dish for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or use as a side dish for your favorite meal.
