Cottage Cheese Dill Bread (two Loaves)

Lydia responded to the gospel by trusting in Jesus Christ. Acts 16:14 says, “The Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul,” and then in verse 15 Lydia was baptized, which in Acts always follows faith in Christ. Faith must not be defined as a correctly worded prayer or a walk to the front of a building at the end of a sermon. Faith involves understanding and believing certain facts about Jesus (specifically, His sinless life, death as a wrath-bearing substitute for sinners, and resurrection) and trusting in Him for salvation

INSTRUCTIONS

So -- now that I've delurked in such a mouthy fashion, perhaps I
should smooth any feathers that I've ruffled by sharing one of the
very best bread recipes I've come across in years. The texture, the
crumb and the taste of this loaf is simply divine: it's from the
"Greens" cookbook by Edward Espe Brown...and I'll bet it's adaptable
to machines!  Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl; stir in honey
and 2-1/2  cups of the flour. Beat to smooth batter, set aside in warm
place til  doubled in bulk--about 45 minutes.  While dough is rising,
heat 1 Tbsp of oil and saute onion in it until  it softens; set aside
to cool. When dough has risen, stir in the  onion, eggs, cottage
cheese, dill weed, salt, and the remaining 3  Tbsp of oil. Mix well.
Fold in 3 C flour gradually; when dough is too  thick to fold in any
more flour, turn onto a floured surface and  knead until smooth and
satiny -- 5 to 8 minutes. Put dough into an  oiled bowl, turn to coat
with oil, and rise in warm place until  doubled, about 40 minutes.
Punch down, let rise again ~- about 30  minutes.  Shape into two
loaves, place in oiiled pans, and let rise to tops of  pans ~- 20 to 25
minutes. Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Brush loaf  tops with egg wash,
bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until browned. (Note:  very delicate crumb
in these loaves; tempting as they smell fresh  from the oven, it's best
to cool them some before cutting.)  Posted to Digest

Our external delights, our ambition and reputation, and our human relationships – for all these things our desires are eager, our appetites strong, our love warm and affectionate, our zeal ardent. Our hearts are tender and sensitive when it comes to these things, easily moved, deeply impressed, much concerned, and greatly engaged. We are depressed at our losses and excited and joyful about our worldly successes and prosperity. But when it comes to spiritual matters, how dull we feel! How heavy and hard our hearts! We can sit and hear of the infinite height, and depth, and length, and breadth of the love of God in Christ Jesus, of His giving His infinitely dear Son – and yet be cold and unmoved!... If we are going to be emotional about anything, shouldn’t it be our spiritual lives? Is anything more inspiring, more exciting, more loveable and desirable in heaven or earth than the gospel of Jesus Christ?... The gospel story is designed to affect us emotionally – and our emotions are designed to be affected by its beauty and glory. It touches our hearts at their tenderest parts, shaking us deeply to the core. We should be utterly humbled that we are not more emotionally affected than we are.

Jonathan Edwards
