COTTAGE CHEESE BREAD

Hey all: This recipe is adapted from an old Diabetes Cookbook going back to 1986.
COTTAGE CHEESE BREAD
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup warm water
1 pkg dry yeast....I use the old fashioned one not the instant one
1 1/4 cup of no-fat cottage cheese
2-2 1/2 cup flour....I use one cup all purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour
1 TBSP sugar
1/2 tsp each salt and baking soda
1 egg well beaten
Dissolve sugar in water and sprinkle yeast over the water/sugar mixture. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Warm cottage cheese in saucepan..(I do it in the microwave) just until warm.
Combine flour (1 cup), sugar, salt and baking soda in a mixer bowl. Stir in warm cottage cheese, egg and yeast mixture. Beat for about 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining flour, (I only use 1 cup of the flour) and mix until it is a stiff dough.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow to raise in a warm place until double in volume (I use the oven that is slightly warmed and leave the oven light on..it warms the oven). This will take about 1 hour. Punch down dough and place in a well greased baking dish...the cottage cheese can stick to the pan.
Let rise in a warm place until double in volume, it takes about 30-45 minutes.
Bake in 350* oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown on top.
