Dilly Onion Braid

This delicious bread recipe, given to me by a neighbor, pairs very well with spaghetti and a crisp salad. Top it off with a fresh fruit bowl for a well-balanced meal.

16 ServingsPrep: 35 min. + rising Bake: 30 min.

Ingredients

2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 tablespoon dill seed
1 to 2 teaspoons dill weed
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons cold water

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, dill seed,
dill weed and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the sour cream, water
and butter to 120°-130°; add to dry ingredients. Beat on
medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the egg, 1/2 cup flour and onion;
beat 2 minutes longer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm
dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.

Directions (continued)

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough
into thirds. Shape each into a 20-in. rope. Place ropes on a greased
baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and
let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Beat egg yolk and cold water; brush over braid. Bake at 350° for
30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack
to cool. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
