Susan G. Komen Bake for a Cure Pt. 1

Recently, I received the honor of being asked to participate in a blogging version of Susan G. Komen’s “Bake for a Cure.”  I’m one of 20 bloggers who will be creating delectable baked goods centered around this worthy cause for the next 3 weeks.  Generous companies like Agro, Karo, and Fleischmann sponsored a “Get Started” pack which I received this past week, and also supplied a $50 Visa Gift Card for me to take the the grocery store with me.  Additionally, they also sent me a “Bake for the Cure” cookbook, which will be providing the inspiration for some of my recipes.

I’ll provide more information about Bake for a Cure later – currently I’m so exhausted from being in the kitchen that I can barely see straight!  I will let you know a few key details right now.  For three weeks, I’ll be posting 2 recipes.  One will be one that I came up with, and one will be my own twist on a recipe from the cookbook I mentioned above.  The other bloggers and I are competing for a $500 gift card to the kitchen store of our choice.  We win by receiving the most comments on our baking posts.  I know you ladies aren’t much for commenting unless there’s a prize involved, but I’d much appreciate you sharing thoughts and opinions on these posts so I have a shot at the prize!

“The Best Herb Bread Ever”

I love this bread so much that I made it twice, so the photos are from 2 batches.  The first loaf I ate entirely myself, so I made two this evening so that I’ll have some to share.  It’s based on the Bake for a Cure Recipe for Dill Bread.  Here’s my recipe.

  • 2  c All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Envelope Fleschmann’s RapidRise Yeast
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 tbs Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Parsley
  • 1 tsp Sage
  • 1 tsp Rosemary
  • 1 tsp Basil
  • 2 tbs Butter
  • 1/4 c Water
  • 1 c Cottage Cheese
  • 1 Egg

  1. Mix 1/4 c flour, yeast, baking soda, sugar, salt, and herbs in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Microwave butter and water until melted and very warm.
  3. Add butter/water to dry mixture.  This is hard to do with an electric mixer unless it’s a big stand mixer, so I do this by hand with a whisk or mixing spoon.  Stir until fully mixed.
  4. Add cottage cheese, egg, and 1/2 cup flour.  At this point, I find it easier to mix the dough with my hands.
  5. Add remaining flour to make a stiff dough.  It will be sticky, and you can add more flour as needed – the original recipe called for an amount of flour I couldn’t get to blend into dough, so I’m still playing with this area!
  6. Transfer dough to a well greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.  I’ve been using a big pie dish, so this is something you can experiment with too.
  7. Let the dough rise for about 45 minutes in a warm, draft-free area – it will come close to doubling in size.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees for around 40 minutes, until the top is completely golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack…  Or eat it all immediately, as I’m tempted to do!
