Buttermilk Dill Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Make mound of flour directly on counter or table. Make a well in the center for the yeast. Add the other dry ingredients (onion, dill weed, and salt) around the edge. Make sure to keep salt out of the yeast.
• Add sugar and the lukewarm water to the yeast. Proof yeast until bubbly.
• Mix together the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and 1 cup of water. SLOWLY add to dry ingredients while mixing with the other hand.
• Mix together until it forms a ball that is not sticky or dry. It should be soft "like a baby's bottom".
• Put in a greased bowl and cover with a light damp towel. Let dough rise until doubled (about 45 minutes or so).
• Punch dough down and separate into 3 medium loaves. Place loaves in greased pans and let rise again for another 45 minutes.
• Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. (I usually check it a little early!).

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; shape into a 6-in. circle. Transfer to a greased 9-in. round baking pan.

Steps:

• Proof yeast in warm water.
• Place the butter or margarine and buttermilk in a small saucepan. Heat slowly until butter or margarine has melted. Cool to lukewarm.
• Place sugar, salt, baking soda, buttermilk mixture, and yeast in large mixing bowl. Add 3 cups flour one cup at a time, and mix with the dough hook attachment of an electric mixer. Gradually add the remaining flour while continuing to mix. When dough is not sticky, turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead for several minutes, until the dough is soft and smooth. Place in a greased bowl, and turn once. Allow to rise until doubled in size.
• Punch down the dough. Divide, and shape into 2 loaves. Place in two well greased 8 x 4 inch bread pans. Allow to rise until dough has risen one inch above pans.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Loaves are done when nicely brown and hollow sounding when thumped.
