Chive recipe from garden chives (1 small loaf of bread)

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives
  • 1-1/4 to 2 cups bread flour

To Cook

  1. You may or may not use up all the flour called for in this recipe. The flour variation depends on many factors, including weather and brand of cottage cheese used.

  2. Put dough in greased bowl and turn dough so that the top is greased. Cover and let rise in warm place for about 60 minutes, or until double in size.

  3. Punch down dough with your fist. Turn dough out onto floured board and gently knead out bubbles.

  4. Form dough into 1 small loaf. Put onto greased baking sheet that has been lightly dusted with cornmeal. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 30 minutes.

  5. Score dough by cutting three slashes across the top with a sharp knife. Put in oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until loaf makes hollow sound when you tap on the bread top.

  6. Let cool on rack.

Prep Work

  1. In medium bowl, mix together all ingredients except the flour. Do not beat out the cottage cheese lumps.

  2. Mix in flour a quarter cup at a time until the dough chases the spoon around the bowl.

  3. Turn dough out onto floured board. Flour hands and begin to gently knead the dough, trying not to crush out all the cottage cheese lumps.

  4. Add more flour only as needed. The dough should only be slightly sticky when finished.
