Faux Focaccia Bread

(It's really called Cottage Cheese Chive bread but I though you might not check it out if I put that in the title!)
Serving something Italian tonight?
This is the bread for you! You can shape it into two loaves or
spread it on an oiled (or sprayed) cookie sheet, sprinkle with seasoning and shredded Parmesan cheese and have Faux Focaccia.

5/8 cup warm water
1 cup fat free cottage cheese
1 egg
2 TBS Oil
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3 3/4 cup freshly ground white wheat flour
4 green onions chopped
2 1/2 TBS honey
1 TBS active dry yeast.

Add ingredients in order to bread maker or mixer.
Bread Maker: put it on dough setting and come back when done.
Mixer: Knead dough until smooth and elastic. Allow to rise until double in bulk.

Form bread into loaves and put in oiled pan
or spread out on oiled cookie sheet.
Allow to rise 30 min in a warm oven.
For loaves bake at 350 for 30 min.
For Faux Foaccia make indentations in bread, drizzle with olive oil (or spray) and then sprinkle with garlic seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 for 16 to 20 min. It should be lightly browned and spring back when pressed with finger.

This bread is only 1 Weight watchers point and is moist and flavorful.
(I wouldn't advertise that it has cottage cheese until they start complimenting you!)
