Farmstyle Cottage Cheese Bread

Cottage cheese breads were once very familiar to home bakers in rural areas, due to the excess of fresh dairy products. Milk and starter were heated together until large curds formed, then the mixture was drained and salted. The delicate sour taste and cottage cheese make for a tender bread. WHile all cottage cheese is made from skim milk, when it is as low as 1 percent, the tub will be labeled "low fat"; that is what is called for here. Cottage cheese is excellent piled on fresh bread with jam or olives. This wonderful sandwich bread is a great keeper, staying fresh for 3 days. This dough is also suitable for making soft pretzels.
