Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water (about 110°F)
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing bowl)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, warm the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. Allow it to cool slightly until lukewarm.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour, salt, garlic powder, and chopped dill.

Step 4

Add the yeast mixture, milk mixture, and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is no longer sticky.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat with oil. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow it to rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes, until puffed and just above the edge of the pan.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
