Dill Bread with Cottage Cheese Recipe
Have dill and not sure what to do with it? Make this super soft homemade dill bread! What makes it so soft? It’s made with cottage cheese that’s going to make a really fluffy slice of bread!
I make this loaf of bread a couple times during the Summer, using it for sandwiches and snacks. I love mine with butter spread on top, while my husband loves cream cheese on his. And the kids? They love butter and slices of dill pickles on theirs! I hope you try it soon!

Ingredients for Soft Dill Bread
- Fresh Dill , finely chopped. Best from the garden or farmers market!
- All-purpose flour , I’ve also tried this recipe with a 50/50 blend of all-purpose and whole wheat flour and it turned out well!
- Honey , this adds a tiny (it’s only 1 tablespoon) bit of sweetness that I definitely recommend you try!
- Butter , melted or softened works, it just needs to be able to be easily mixed.
- Other : Baking powder, baking soda, salt and eggs.
How to Make Dill Bread
Spray a bread loaf pan with nonstick spray.
Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl.
In a large bowl mix together cottage cheese, eggs, honey and melted butter, mixing it with a hand mixer .
Add fresh dill and mix with a spoon.
Add flour mixture into the dill mixture and continue mixing. The dough is going to feel a little stiff, but don’t worry – this is what we want!
Pour the mixture into the bread loaf pan, smoothing it out on top with a spatula.
Bake until lightly browned, about 35 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool before removing from the pan.
Slice and enjoy this delicious cottage cheese dill bread!
Storing Bread
Wrap bread in plastic, or store in a plastic bag, leaving it on the counter, up to 3 days. If you’d like to make a couple loaves to freeze, allow to cool before wrapping it in foil and placing in a freezer bag. Frozen dill bread lasts for 3 months.
