Soften yeast in water.
Combine cottage cheese, sugar, onion, butter, dill seed, salt and soda in pan and warm slowly until lukewarm.
Remove from heat, and add egg and yeast, mixing well.
Add flour, making a stiff dough, cover and set aside until it doubles in size. (About an hour)
Stir down; turn into a greased loaf pan and let double in size again.
Bake for 45 - 50 minutes at 350° until golden brown.
This freezes well.
It is especially good sliced and buttered, wrapped in foil and heated.
