COTTAGE CHEESE AND CHIVE BREAD ( BREAD MACHINE )

Steps:

• Measure and add ingredients to YOUR bread maker according to YOUR instructions. (Mine takes all liquids first, then dry ingredients, with the yeast last.).
• Select the "Sweet Bread" setting.
• Select "Crust Color" medium.
• Press Start, walk away, come back 2 hours and 50 minutes later to behold your creation!
• Notes:.
• Cottage cheese - I drain all the whey that will readily pour off but don't actually strain it to remove all the liquid. I suppose the drained liquid could replace all or part of the water but I haven't tried it.
• Dough Consistency - As with all bread recipes, more flour or water may be needed depending on the humidity. Watch during the first knead & if the bread looks too dry, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough gathers up. Likewise, if the dough looks to wet (my machine makes a louder noise when this is the case) sprinkle in flour.
