DILL BREAD RECIPE FOR THE BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• This makes a two-pound loaf of bread. Use the basic setting with the medium crust option.
• Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first. (With my bread machine, I add the liquid first.)
• Check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. Just pop the top of the bread machine and see how the dough is doing. It should be a smooth, round ball. If needed, you can add a little water or flour.
• When I make this again, I'm going to try adding more dill.
