Mix together water, cottage cheese, honey and butter. Stir well. Heat to lukewarm 120º. In large bowl combine liquid with sugar, salt, yeast and 1 egg. Gradually beat in whole wheat flour.

Personal Notes:
Joan, taught me how to make bread when I was first married. She is such a great cook. You may also use more white flour and less whole wheat flour in this recipe or substitute 1 cup of oatmeal for 1 cup of flour. This is great served while still warm!
