Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 0.25 cup Milk (lukewarm)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir in the caraway seeds and chopped fresh dill.

Step 2

Add the warm water, lukewarm milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining flour, half a cup at a time, until the dough comes together and is soft but not sticky.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Lightly grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the kneaded dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 7

Cover the pan with the towel and allow the dough to rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until it has risen just above the rim of the pan.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 9

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
