Dilled Brown Bread Recipes

DILLED BROWN BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together the flours, the salt, the baking soda, the baking powder, and the dill seeds. In a bowl whisk together the buttermilk, 3 tablespoons of the butter, and the honey, add the mixture to the flour mixture, and stir the dough until it is just combined. Turn the dough out into a buttered 9-inch ceramic or glass pie plate and with floured hands pat it into a 7-inch round loaf. Brush the top with 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter, cut an X 1/4 inch deep across the top, and bake the bread in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 1 hour, or until it is golden and sounds hollow when the bottom is tapped. Transfer the bread to a rack, brush it with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and let it cool on the rack for at least 4 hours before slicing.

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!
