Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Warm water (105–110°F)
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Egg, beaten
• 3 tablespoons Chopped fresh dill
• 0.25 cup Dried minced onion
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Set aside for 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing as you go.

Step 4

Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the bowl as well, stirring until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Add the chopped dill and dried minced onion, kneading the dough by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Lightly grease a large bowl with a bit of melted butter or oil, place the dough inside, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 1–1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles, then shape it into a loaf or divide into smaller rolls, depending on your preference.

Step 8

Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan (or onto a greased baking sheet for rolls). Cover again with the towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the dough for added texture and flavor.

Step 10

Bake the bread for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
