I am incapable of following a recipe to the letter, so I made the following changes:<br />--Used a bread machine to do all the dough work, which necessitated making the full liquid portion (with the egg added after cooling), and using half of it (which came out to just under 1.75c for each loaf), warming it gently before baking. I saved the rest for the next loaf.<br />--I never have cottage cheese, so I used Greek yogurt (traditional style, plain). I whisked everything in the saucepan very well to make it smooth.<br />--I left out the sugar entirely.<br />--I guessed at the white flour, adding only two cups. I think I'll add a bit more next time, as it seems a bit sticky.<br /><br />I can't wait to make this my go to sandwich bread!Maggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-44717202436394247072011-09-20T13:09:22.276+02:002011-09-20T13:09:22.276+02:00I love to bake bread, it's so relaxing, well a...I love to bake bread, it's so relaxing, well at least to me. <br />But I wanted to make a suggestion concerning the bike. There is a bike "flea market" in Zürich (on Helvetiaplatz) on September 24 (9-3) , you can find more information here: http://www.provelozuerich.ch/veloboersen.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466635844835174160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-72813722977059745152011-09-19T19:26:34.074+02:002011-09-19T19:26:34.074+02:00Sneh - thanks for visiting and commenting!

I think I'm going to need to bake another loaf just so I can wrap it in a kitchen towel, place it my bike basket with a good book and head to the park...where I can eat and read. <br /><br />Heather - It's funny isn't it, people's reactions to baking bread. I've come to love it, but it is really hard to explain it to people. I think they just have to see for themselves. A new house! how exciting. Good luck with everything. I'll be baking your New York City Deli Rye soon, that loaf looks amazing. I grew up on rye toast too, my dad loves it!<br /><br />Gary! - how the heck are you? thanks for commenting. yes...make this bread, it's good, better than corrugated cardboard modelsTalleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02526439207082547500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-34776393824272284562011-09-18T20:29:12.045+02:002011-09-18T20:29:12.045+02:00Holy McMoly, that is an immaculate loaf.

I'm still a little saddened every time I have to explain all that, b/c if they tried it they'd know exactly why I did it, but to each his own. Some people are not bakers, and I completely understand. This looks like a fine loaf; especially excited about the addition of protein to amp up the nutrition quality. Once I get my loaf pans out of storage, and our home is finished being built, this will be the first thing baked. It'll be a nice reminder of my time, albeit ridiculously brief, visiting Switzerland!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />*Heather*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413615485793018819.post-70154234075866193872011-09-18T00:23:35.827+02:002011-09-18T00:23:35.827+02:00This is a gorgeous looking loaf.
