A delightful and easy-to-make bread recipe featuring the creamy goodness of cottage cheese and a golden crust.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.
Add the cottage cheese, sugar, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture and stir until combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the sugar and salt dissolve evenly.
Gradually add the flour, half a cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a stiff dough.
Adding the flour gradually helps achieve the right dough consistency.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Place the dough in a draft-free area to ensure even rising.
Butter a casserole dish and transfer the dough into it, smoothing the top.
Butter the dish generously to prevent sticking.
Let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes until almost doubled.
Check the dough periodically to avoid over-proofing.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
Sprinkle the top of the dough with toasted sesame seeds.
Press the seeds gently into the dough to help them adhere.
Bake the bread for 40-50 minutes until golden brown.
Check the bread towards the end of baking to avoid over-browning.
Remove from the oven, brush the crust with butter, and let cool slightly before serving.
Brushing with butter adds a lovely shine and enhances the flavor.
