BONNIE'S DILL AND ONION CASSEROLE BREAD

Steps:

• 1. EQUIPMENT: You will need a medium size mixing bowl, a thermometer, blender, and an electric mixer.
• 2. DRY INGREDIENTS: Measure one cup of the flour and put it into a medium size mixing bowl. (you will not use all the flour) Add sugar, onion, dill seed, salt, baking soda and yeast, stir to mix.
• 3. WET MIXTURE: Blend the cottage cheese until smooth. In a small saucpan, add the water, cottage cheese and butter. Heat while stirring until the thermometer reads 120 degrees. Remove from heat.
• 4. FIRST RISING: Break the egg into the dry ingredients and beat it with a fork, then add the wet mixture and mix well. Blend with the electric mixer until moist, then beat for 3 minutes at medium speed. Trade your mixer for a wooden spoon and stir in the remaining 1 to 1 2/3 cups of flour by hand to form a soft dough. Leave in the bowl you mixed it in, and cover with a tea towel and place in a warm place to rise. I use my oven with the light on. Let it rise until doubled in size. about 45 to 60 minutes.
• 5. PREPARE YOUR CASSEROLE DISH FOR BAKING: Choose a 1 1/2 to 2 quart casserole dish and grease it or use Pam spray. Set aside. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• 6. SECOND RISING: After the dough has risen, uncover and punch it down to remove the air bubbles, add as little flour as necessary. Turn the dough into the greased casserole dish, and cover and let rise until doubled in size about 45 minutes, then uncover and place in the pre-heated oven (350 degrees) and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. It sounds hollow inside when tapped lightly. Remove the bread from the casserole dish, and butter the top (you may sprinkle with coarse salt if you wish) and place on a wire rack to cool before slicing. Enjoy!

BONNIE'S BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. HOW TO DO IT: Use Pam to spray your casserole dish. Use 2 1/2 to 3 quart size. Tear up the bread into pieces into the dish. Add all of the ingredients: bread, whiskey, whipping cream, vanilla, brown sugar, egg, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add raisins if you want them. (Do not add the glaze ingredients.) Gently mix until well combined. Dot the top with the butter cut into small pieces. Add just enough milk to bring it almost to the top of the bread mixture, but not covering it.
• 2. BAKE IT: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the pudding in a shallow 9X13 pan of water and place in the oven. Bake for one hour. Carefully remove the dish from the pan of water and set on the stove. Using mitts, remove the VERY HOT pan of water. Be careful not to spill it on yourself! Put the pudding back in the oven on the rack for 15 minutes or until golden brown. It should be set. Do not overcook or it will dry it out. The pudding should still be moist, but lightly browned, like my photo.
• 3. GLAZE IT: Make a pouring glaze of 2 tablespoons, melted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon Mexican vanilla and add water gradually 1 to 4 tablespoons and stir until you have a nice pourable glaze. Pour that all over the pudding and let it soak in. Serve warm. Enjoy!
• 4. Cook's Tip: I use the leftover bread from my recipe: White Bread -- Feather Light! It makes terrific bread pudding!

FEATHER BREAD (BREAD MAKER - FOR BREAD - ROLLS - AND BUNS.)

Steps:

• Be sure to whisk that flour before measuring - I soften the margarine in the micro wave.
• Place ingredients in order listed with the flour and yeast going in last.
• Choose your cycle.During the first mixing check to assure your dough has the right amount of flour and water - dough should look nice and shiny.Flours differ so you may need to add lukewarm water a teaspoon at a time if it is too dry- a sprinkling of flour if too sticky. Never add more then 3 tablespoons of either the flour or the water. In my breadmaker the whisked flour and the carefully measured ingredients are right on. Makes a large loaf.
• FOR DOUGH use dough cycle - when cycle complete shape into bread, buns or rolls. I often make braided loaves topping with sesame seeds.
• Brush tops with softened butter or margarine.Rise 20 to 30 minutes or until double in size.
• Bake in a 350 oven until nicely golden brown brushing with softened butter or margarine just before they are done - I brush them again when I take them out - makes for nice tops.
• Time varies - check your machine. Cooking time is machine and baking time.
