Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and let cool slightly until it is lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, mix 2 cups of the flour with the salt, fresh dill, and chopped onion.
Add the yeast mixture, milk mixture, and the egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, adding small amounts of flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning the dough to coat it in oil. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf with a clean towel and let it rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until it has puffed up above the edge of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as desired. Enjoy your Dill and Onion Bread!
