Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Milk (room temperature)
• 1 unit Egg (large)
• 1 tablespoon Minced garlic (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Add the chopped dill, melted butter, milk, and egg to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough and form it into a loaf shape. Transfer it to the prepared pan, cover loosely with a towel, and let it rise again for 20-30 minutes.

Step 9

Optionally, sprinkle the top of the loaf with minced garlic or additional dill for extra flavor.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
