Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cups Warm water
• 0.5 cups Warm milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cups Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried dill (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.

Step 2

Add warm milk, melted butter, the egg, salt, fresh dill, and dried dill (if using) to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once the dough begins to come together, transfer it to a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil, then place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to deflate. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 6

Cover the pan with the towel again and let the dough rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the edge of the pan.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
