1 package (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt

Add yeast mixture to the cottage cheese mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually add flour and salt, kneading until smooth and elastic.

Let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.
