Como fazer Crusty Cheese Bread
- Sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast over 1 cup of warm (105-115°F) water.
- Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Gently stir to combine.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 large egg. Mix well.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing with a mixer until a stiff dough forms.
- If using a stand mixer, beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. If mixing by hand, beat well after each addition of flour.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Butter a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
- Gently punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared casserole dish.
- Let rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until almost doubled.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190-200°F (88-93°C).
- Remove from oven and brush the crust with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- **Variation:** For extra flavor, add 1 tablespoon grated onion and 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds to the dough before adding the flour.
- **Extra Cheese Variation:** Stir in 1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese after punching down the dough in step 9.
