Chris Elworthy Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Since me and the current Mrs. E met 21 years ago I haven't prepared a single thing in the kitchen, except for coffee and the kitchen itself of course. I have been advised to start with something simple like preparing and baking a loaf of bread, so this is what I intend to do. I did think however that just plain old bread would be a bit boring so havingtried a few speciality breads I've plumped for the Dill Bread which is one of my favourites. Problem is, I cannot find a proper recipe for it. Can any of the lady posters out there tell me what sort of dough I should use for Dill bread and how long does it take to rise? Thanks.

Ammonia Girl Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Chris, It would be wrong for any woman to inhibit this enthusiasm, so I have unearthed this recipe from my ancient recipe books. Hope it works. Ammonia Girl Ingredients: 1 pkg. yeast ¼ C warm water 1 C creamed cottage cheese 2 Tbs. sugar 1 Tbs. minced onion 1 heaping Tbs. butter 2 tsp. dill seed 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. soda 1 egg 2 ½ C flour Directions: Soften yeast in water. Combine all but flour in a large bowl. Add flour gradually to form a soft dough, beating well after each addition. Cover and let rise in a warm place until light and double in size (about 50-60 minutes). Stir down and turn into a well-greased 8-inch two-quart casserole. Let rise until light (30-40 minutes). Bake 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown. Brush top with soft butter and sprinkle with salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to make sure I have understood your recipe correctly, the important steps are: You produce your DILL DOUGH You beat it well after each addition. And once its warmed up it doubles in size and rises until the light comes on. Thanks Ammonia Girl, I can almost picture this going on now in your kitchen. Happy New Year.
