Since the dough doesn’t require kneading, this is a very easy bread to make. The tender loaf has a pleasant dill flavor. I serve it with soups, salads and many entrees.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons dill seed
  • 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, egg, dill seed, onion, salt and 1-1/2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in remaining flour (batter will be sticky). Do not knead. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  2. Stir batter down. Spoon into a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 45 minutes.
  3. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown (cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly). Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
