Fast Yeast Bread With Onion And Dill - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 (2 1/4 teaspoon) package yeast
1/2 cup warm water
2 1/4 cups white flour or 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 small onion, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Preparation

Scald the milk and dissolve in it the sugar, salt and butter; cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the cooled milk, flour, onion and herbs.
Stir well with a large wooden spoon.
When the batter is smooth, cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until triple in bulk- about 45 minutes. Stir down, and beat vigorously for a few minutes, then turn into a greased bread pan.
Let it stand for 10 minutes before putting into a preheated 350 deg. oven. Bake about one hour.
The dough will be sticky- resist the urge to add too much flour. My bread was done in 50 minutes. Of course you can vary the herbs. Delicious!
