Dill Bread Recipes

GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED DILL BREAD

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for 10 minutes until the foam on top is doubled in size.
• Heat the cottage cheese in a small pan to lukewarm.
• Combine the cottage cheese and the yeast mixture together.
• Add the remaining ingredients until combined.
• Butter a large bowl and place the dill bread dough. Roll the dough around the bowl to butter it.
• Place a dish towel over the bowl and set it in a warm place (microwave works great). Let the dough rise for about one hour or until it is doubled in size.
• Press the dough down and shape it into either one regular loaf size or three mini loaves.
• Place the shaped dough into the loaf pan(s). And again set them in a warm place, cover them with a dish towel and let them rise for another hour or until doubled in size.
• While the dough is rising for the second time preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Bake the regular sized loaf for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Bake the mini loaves for 25-30 minutes.
• Take out of the oven and let sit for no longer than 5 minutes in the pan(s). Remove the bread from the pan(s) and set them on a wire cooling rack.
• Brush lots of butter on the top and sides of the loaves. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
• ENJOY!

DILL BREAD

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the milk, sour cream, dill, butter, and sugar. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the butter melts. Remove from the heat and cool to about 110 degrees F. Sprinkle the yeast over the surface of the milk. Set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Set aside.
• Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl of flour and mix until a soft, ragged mixture is formed.
• Transfer the flour mixture to a well-floured work surface and knead by hand until an elastic dough is formed, about 10 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and place in the warm spot, until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Transfer the dough to the work surface and, using your hands, gently flatten into a 10-inch-long oval shape. Fold the dough into thirds lengthwise, overlapping the sides in the center. Press down on the overlapping sides to seal and make a seam. Place seam side-down in a buttered 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, cover with a kitchen towel, and return to the warm spot until the dough has risen about 1 1/2 inches over the top of the pan, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Brush the top of the dough lightly with warm water and, using a sharp knife, make 1/4-inch-deep slit down the center. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the loaf from the pan and place in the center of the rack. Continue baking until the loaf sounds hollow when rapt lightly with your knuckles on the bottom and top, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers about 190 degrees F., about 15 minutes.
• Transfer the bread loaf to a cooling rack and let cool for 2 hours before using.

TASTY DILL BREAD

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a medium bowl, sprinkle the yeast over 1/2 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F) and gently shake the bowl to help the yeast mix with the water. Set aside until dissolved, about 10 minutes.
• In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the bread flour with the shallots, fresh dill, dill seeds, fennel seeds, sesame seeds, honey, molasses, wheat germ, salt and pepper. Mix on medium-low speed to blend. Mix in the cottage cheese and egg.
• Add the yeast mixture and mix to incorporate. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl. Cover with a towel and put in a warm place until doubled in volume, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• Grease an 8-inch loaf pan with butter. Gently push the air out of the dough. Put the dough squarely in the pan and cover it with the towel again. Leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake the bread: Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake the loaf until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean or the internal temperature of the bread reaches 200 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and unmold. Let the bread rest on a rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting. (Or, if you're like me, tear off the end and nibble on it immediately as you wait for the rest of the loaf to cool! The crust is addictive.)
