Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water (about 110°F), the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and the lightly beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Fold the sautéed onion and chopped dill into the dough until evenly distributed.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes. The dough will puff slightly but may not double in size due to the short rise time.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and shape it into a single round loaf or divide it into smaller rolls, as desired. Place the loaf or rolls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Optional: Brush the top of the bread with a little olive oil for color and shine, and sprinkle with additional chopped dill for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
