Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 0.25 cup Milk (lukewarm)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir in the caraway seeds and chopped fresh dill.
Add the warm water, lukewarm milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, half a cup at a time, until the dough comes together and is soft but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Lightly grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the kneaded dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the pan with the towel and allow the dough to rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until it has risen just above the rim of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
