Savory Dill Bread Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Stir melted butter, parsley, onion, and dill together in a bowl. Dunk biscuit halves into the butter mixture to coat; arrange into a tube-cake pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until dough is cooked through and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease and flour a loaf pan.
• combine all dry ingredients and stir well with a whisk.
• In a separate bowl combine, beer, oil and eggs. Beat with fork or whisk to incorporate eggs. Add mixture to dry ingredients. stir to combine. Do not over blend. Pour into prepared bread pan.Pour the melted butter over the top.
• bake for 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. It slices better if you can wait and let it cool a little. :-). This is also delicious toasted the next day.
• Hints: you may use herbs of your choice.
• dried dill, or basil, or italian seasoning or a Rosemarie blend. Also for the cheese you can use Montrey Jack, or pepper jack or smoked Gouda is outstanding. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix yeast, warm water, sugar, salt, eggs, and vegetable oil together in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, poultry seasoning, savory, sage, dill, black pepper, and nutmeg until thoroughly combined. Beat the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, about 1 cup at a time, until the dough is smooth; add up to 1 more cup of flour if needed.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, and knead until the dough is springy, smooth, and elastic, about 8 minutes. Form the dough into a ball, and place into an oiled bowl. Turn the dough ball around in the bowl to lightly oil the dough, then cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Grease 2 9x5-inch loaf pans. Punch down the dough, knead several times to remove air pockets, then cut the dough in half. Shape each half into a log, pinching the seams closed, then place into the prepared loaf pans seam sides down. Lightly cover the pans with a cloth, and let rise until doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake the bread until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes; remove from pans and cool on wire cooling racks.

Steps:

• 1. Combine all sponge starter ingredients in a mixing bowl. The resulting goo should look wet and reckless. Wrap the bowl up and let it sit in the corner (preferably a warm one) for four hours or as long as overnight.
• 2. Combine all the dry ingredients for the dough in a large bowl or the mixing bowl for a counter top mixer. Mix them, mechanically or manually, so that all they are distributed evenly. Add water, one cup of the sponge, and butter and mix to combine.
• 3. Add the egg. You want to do this after the butter so the egg doesn't cook. Mix by hand for ten to fifteen minutes (three to five with a Kitchen Aid using the paddle on medium speed) until the dough forms a smooth paste. It should still be sticky and stretchy, but not very wet. If you're using a machine; switch to the dough hook and mix for another five minutes on medium; if you're manual, turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead the hell out of it for seven minutes.
• 4. In yet another bowl, add the olive oil and give a swirl. Form the dough into a ball, and roll it in the oil so that it's greasy everywhere. Cover the bowl with plastic and let it sit for an hour in a warm corner.
• 5. For filling, make Cast-Iron Mushrooms but add 2 pounds of sliced shallots. When the shallots begin to brown, add 1/2 cup cream sherry and reduce by half. Set aside.
• 6. Form the rolls: on a floured surface, gently roll out the dough into a 12 by 18 inch square. Spread the sherry-butter-shallot-mushroom goo all over the giant dough square on your counter. Make sure to spread evenly all the way to the edges. Apply the dill and the cheese in a similar fashion; evenly distribute all the way to the corners of your dough sheet.
• 7. Sprinkle salt and grind pepper all over the thing and preheat your oven to 350.
• 8. As if it were a joint-that's right-carefully roll the rectangle into itself. Start at the bottom and curl inwards until you have a bulging log. Use a sharp knife and slice rolls off of the left side of the log. You can make them as thick as you'd like; we like ours about two inches thick.
• 9. Gingerly place the rolls side by each on a greased (with butter) baking pan and cover them loosely with plastic.
• 10. When thirty minutes-minimum!-has elapsed, slide the rolls into the oven and bake for fifteen to twenty minutes. When they start to smell amazing, check them. You're looking for a nice golden brown hue on the top of each one.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Mix flour, baking powder, salt and dill weed in large bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese.
• Whisk eggs and milk until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Spoon into 9x5-inch loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately remove bread from pan; cool completely on wire rack.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly; stir in the cheese and dill. In a small bowl, beat egg and milk; pour into dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. (Batter will be very thick.) Pour into a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until bread tests done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches.
• Stir together all ingredients just until moistenend. Pour into pan.
• Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place an UNGREASED 10" diameter castiron skillet in the oven while the oven is preheating.
• In a medium size bowl combine the white flour and whole wheat flour. Add the baking powder and salt, stirring well.
• In a separate bowl, combine the oil, plain yogurt, green onions, dill if using, and black pepper. Blend the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture thoroughly to make a soft dough.
• On a floured cutting board, knead the dough about 5 times and pat into a round loaf. Remove castiron skillet from oven and carefully and lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil.
• Place the shaped dough into the castiron skillet, spreading and flattening out the dough to fill up the pan almost to the edges. Brush on egg wash or melted butter and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Serve warm.
