A Dilly of a Roll



The dill in my garden is just out of control, so I had
to do something delicious with it!


The weather has been a little rainy, so it didn't feel so terrible
to turn the oven on to bake.

I had the recipe for these Cottage Cheese Dill Rolls
in an old breads cookbook that I had when I was
first married.  They are amazing. 

I can't find the cookbook anymore but it was a
great introduction to a variety of bread making and
I spent many wonderful hours baking different breads
from around the world.



Start with fresh dill.  You can grow it or buy it in the
produce section of your grocery store.



The moistness of this bread comes from the addition of
cottage cheese.  It mixes right in and you don't even know it's there.



You end up with a smooth and satiny dough that is very easy
to work with.



Knots are always a fun addition to a basket of rolls.



Growing up I think I always preferred clover leaf rolls
because they were so fun to pull apart.



Of course, Parker House rolls are so great with a little
bit of butter inside.

I decided to make all three.



Can't  you just smell the warm rolls?  I love, love, love
homemade bread and rolls.  I have to quickly give
some away to the neighbors or I will eat them all.

These went to a neighborhood BBQ.


Cottage Cheese Dill Roll Recipe

2 C. cottage cheese
2 T. butter
 2 T. yeast  (I use the SAF yeast)
1/2 C. warm water
2 eggs
1/4 C. sugar
2 T. finely chopped onion
1 T. finely chopped fresh dill weed
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
5 C. flour

Place the yeast in the 1/2 C. water and stir to dissolve.
Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of your mixer with
the bread dough hook in place.  Add the water with the
yeast.  Mix for about 5-10 minutes or until dough pulls
away from the sides and looks smooth.  Add a tablespoon
of flour at a time if the dough looks too sticky, but remember
this is a really soft dough and will be less sticky after rising.
I added 2 T. more flour on the day I made these.  The
amount of flour will vary with the humidity where you live
and the humidity on the day you make the bread.

Place in a bowl sprayed with Pam and spray the top of the
dough with Pam.  Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until
double.  This usually takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Now the dough will be really easy to use.  Shape as desired.
Place on greased pans or muffin tins and cover with paper
towel until doubled, usually 30 minutes. 

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Butter the tops when you take them out of the oven.





Oh, these are just so wonderful.  Give them a try when the weather
cools down.

I will be posting this on
Beauty and Bedlam's

that is featured there.  It will make your mouth water.

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

  6. Oh, my gosh! My mom made "Dilly Bread" when I was little! She's been gone since I was ten, so it's been a very long time since I've had any of this delectable stuff. Time to pull out the kitchen aid and get busy on a ( finally) rainy day. Just too bad my dill was one of the herbs that oddly didn't make it through the drought. :-( Thanks for the inspiration and beautifully photographed tutorial. Drop in some time.

  28. Recipe sounds soooo good- love dill- i like that you made the 3 different shapes- I have never made knots- tend to stick to clover leaf- but will give the knots a try- nice to have some variety.

    Thanks for visiting my blog-if you looked through it you would have seen several references to Marcy Goldmans' Passion for Baking. That woman loves her yeast products!!!
