Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 package Active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dill weed (fresh or dried)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (melted) Optional: Use olive oil for a different flavor

Instructions
 

  • Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F/43°C) and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5 minutes, until frothy.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and dill weed (fresh or dried).
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • Shape the dough: Punch down the risen dough, then shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
  • Second rise: Cover the dough with a cloth again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven: While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the bread: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • Cool and serve: Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Want more dill taste? Add extra dill weed to the dough. You can also sprinkle some on top before baking.
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic powder or onion powder to the dough. Make sure the dough rises fully during both stages.
This ensures a light and airy loaf. If you don't have fresh dill, dried dill can be used as a substitute.
Just use a bit less since dried herbs are more potent. Store leftover bread at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days.
You can also freeze individual slices for more extended storage.
