Ingredients

3 to 3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 pkg. active dry yeast

1 tsp. salt
1 c. very warm water (120~ to 130~)
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 c. melted butter

Preparation

Using solid shortening or margarine, grease a 12-cup fluted tube pan.
Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon dill.
Lightly spoon flour into a measuring cup and level off.
In a large bowl, blend 1 1/2 cups flour and the next 6 ingredients.
Beat 3 minutes at medium speed.
By hand, stir in the remaining 1 1/2 to 2 cups flour.
On a floured surface, knead dough until smooth, about 1 minute.
Press or roll to a 15 x 12-inch rectangle.
Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut dough into diamond shape pieces by cutting 1 1/2 to 2-inch strips.
Dip each piece in melted butter and layer in prepared pan.
Sprinkle each layer with 1/2 teaspoon dill weed. Cover and let rise in a warm place until light and doubled in size (45 to 60 minutes).
