Instructions
Dissolve the yeast in 2 C warm water (not too hot or you will kill the yeast).
Combine the oil, cottage cheese and onion in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Mix the dry ingredients except the flour, add the cottage cheese mixture and the water/yeast.
Add the flour, ½ cup at a time, kneading it in to the wet mixture.
Alternate adding the remaining one cup of water with adding the flour.
Knead the dough adding flour and water until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover it and let it raise in a warm area until double in bulk.
Punch down and divide the dough into 4 pieces, put in oiled loaf pans and let it raise again until double in bulk.
Heat the oven to 375F degrees.
Brush the top with melted butter and bake in loaf pans for 45 minutes until the top is crusty brown, and you hear a hollow sound when you thump it with your fingers.
Dump the bread out of the pan and cool on a cooling rack.
