DILL & ONION BREAD

Steps:

• ADD ingredients to your bread machine in the order listed.
• Select 'French/Italian Bread' setting on the bread machine menu. Push START.
• Allow bread machine to work through the first mixing cycle (about 45 to 60 minutes), then allow it to enter into the second mix and rise cycle just until the machine stops mixing and begins the rise stage (about 20-minutes). REMOVE from bread machine and handle gently, kneading 5 or 6 turns on floured surface to shape for the baking pan (Dutch oven or casserole dish heat-safe to 500-degrees). Do not over-mix but make sure the dough is coated with flour.
• Tear a piece of parchment paper larger than the baking container. Set it into a large bowl for the dough to rise before baking. Lightly spray the parchment with oil and lightly sprinkle coarse salt on the oiled parchment paper.
• SET the dough onto the parchment paper in the large bowl. Score 2 or 3 times with sharp knife if desired then cover with either a cloth or oiled plastic wrap. Set the bowl in a warm area of the kitchen, probably near your stove. Allow to rise for about 45-minutes.
• About 30-minutes into the dough rising, PRE-HEAT oven to 450-degrees and set the empty Dutch oven (or casserole dish) with heat-proof lid on top, into the oven to get hot (takes about 15 to 20 minutes). You will transfer the dough, parchment and all, into the hot Dutch oven when it finishes rising.
• When dough finishes rising, remove Dutch oven from the hot oven (do not leave oven door open while transferring dough to the baking dish). Remove the lid and gently lift and transfer the dough including the parchment paper into the hot Dutch oven. Place the lid back onto the Dutch Oven and set it back into the hot oven.
• BAKE for 30-minutes with the lid on. At the 30-minute mark, take bread out of oven. Remove the lid. Remove the parchment paper. RETURN bread to the Dutch oven without a lid and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until a nice golden crust forms.
• REMOVE from oven when done. Cool for at least 10-minutes before serving. STORE cooled bread in a bread bag or plastic storage bag.

ONION DILL BREAD (NO-KNEAD)

Steps:

• In bowl combine 1 1/2 cup of the flour and yeast.
• In a saucepan heat milk, sugar, butter, dill seed or weed, onion, salt, heat to 115-120 degrees stirring to melt the butter.
• Add to dry mixture; add egg.
• Beat at low speed for about 1/2 minute then high for 3 minutes.
• Then stir in remaining flour.
• Cover and let rise till doubled (about 30 minutes) Stir down.
• Then spread evenly in to a greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
• Let rise again until doubled (about 30 minutes) Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove from pan to cool.

DILL ONION BUTTERMILK BREAD

Steps:

• Make mound of flour directly on counter or table. Make a well in the center for the yeast. Add the other dry ingredients (onion, dill weed, and salt) around the edge. Make sure to keep salt out of the yeast.
• Add sugar and the lukewarm water to the yeast. Proof yeast until bubbly.
• Mix together the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and 1 cup of water. SLOWLY add to dry ingredients while mixing with the other hand.
• Mix together until it forms a ball that is not sticky or dry. It should be soft "like a baby's bottom".
• Put in a greased bowl and cover with a light damp towel. Let dough rise until doubled (about 45 minutes or so).
• Punch dough down and separate into 3 medium loaves. Place loaves in greased pans and let rise again for another 45 minutes.
• Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. (I usually check it a little early!).

DILL AND ONION BREAD (AKA DILLY CASSEROLE BREAD)

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, sugar, onion, dill weed, dill seed, salt, bake soda and yeast). Lightly stir to mix. Set aside.
• 2. Pour the first four ingredients, (water, egg, cottage cheese and butter), into the bread machine mixing well.
• 3. ADD the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl on top of the wet ingredients in the bread machine.
• 4. Set bread machine for a one-pound loaf, dark crust, Basic White dough. NOTE: If you want a chewier texture to the crust, set French Bread setting instead of Basic White. Push START.
• 5. When the last alarm rings on the machine to indicate you can stop and remove the mixing paddle, do so at this time. NOTE: At this point, you can choose to turn out the dough, roll/fold into a ball and set inside a medium-sized greased casserole dish for its last rise. SLICE the top of the dough down the center about a one-inch deep. Brush melted butter on top. SPRINKLE with coarse salt and dill weed for added flavor (optional). Cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour to 90-minutes until at least doubled in size. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN IT OUT, simply remove the paddle and return the dough to the center of the machine and it will finish rising and baking according to your machine settings, IF baking in the machine, when you return the dough to the well center, slice top of dough, brush with melted butter and sprinkle top with coarse salt and dill weed for added flavor (optional).
• 6. IF baking in oven, bake at 350-degrees for 35-45 minutes. Bread is done when golden brown on top and when bread sounds hollow when touching the top.
• 7. When baking is complete, turn finished bread out and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving with softened butter. Store in bread box or lightly cover with plastic wrap. NOTE: some bakers like to brush melted butter on top when the bread comes out of the oven and that's an option. I don't do that because I feel it speeds up the aging process of day old bread.
• 8. NOTE: This bread doesn't keep well for more than two days. If you have leftovers, you should consider cutting into cubes and toasting to make croutons or running through a mill grinder to make savory bread crumbs for stuffing, meatloaf mix, coating on pork chops or other foods as your imagination takes you.

FEATHER LIGHT WHITE ONION DILL BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Combine yeast and warm water in a small bowl; let stand 5-10 minutes. Combine cottage cheese, sugar, butter, onion, dill weed, baking powder, salt and eggs in large mixing bowl of stand mixer. Mix well. Add yeast mixture and flour. Knead with dough hook until smooth and elastic. Dough should clean sides of mixing bowl. If it is sticky, add flour 1 TB. at a time until side of bowl is cleaned.
• 2. Place dough in large, buttered bowl turning over once to coat. Cover with sprayed saran wrap in draft-free area until doubled in bulk. (I turn my oven on to 200-250 degrees and set it on top of a hot pad on top of the stove (about 85 degrees). Punch dough down, cover and let rise again until doubled. (Don't worry about the rise times... they go very fast with this recipe.) Punch dough down. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 2 loaves. Place in two greased baking pans. Cover with sprayed saran wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk. Remember... this will continue to rise in the oven, so don't allow it to rise much more than 1 to 1 1/2 inches above the pan.
• 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. To tell if it is done, gently turn the pan on it's side and see if the bottom of the loaf is golden brown. If not, return to the oven for a few more minutes. Brush tops with melted butter while still warm.
