Dilly Bread Recipe

This is a delicious, moist bread. The dill flavor makes a nice addition to a sandwich. This recipe can also be made into dinner rolls, and the little flakes of dill add a pretty green color to the rolls. Dill can be grown in the garden. Mom’s dill would come up year after year, but I haven’t had as much luck with mine.
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
1 tablespoon dry dill seed or dill weed
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
2 1/2 cups bread flour
Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl. Add the sugar, onion flakes, butter, salt, cottage cheese, dill, baking soda, and egg. Mix well. Slowly add the flour, beating after each addition. After all the flour is added and stirred in, you may need to knead the dough with your hands to finish mixing the flour in. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Punch down and shape into 12 rolls or 1 loaf. Grease a baking sheet for the rolls or grease and flour a 5 by 9-inch loaf pan for the loaf. Place the dough on the sheet or in the pan, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise again until light, 30 to 45 minutes.
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake until golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes for the rolls or about 45 minutes for the loaf. Remove the pans from the oven and brush the bread or rolls with melted lard or margarine. Unused rolls or bread can be sealed and frozen, or stored in a sealed container and stay fresh for 3 to 4 days. Makes 12 rolls or 1 loaf.

made this last night pretty good.. I did it in a loaf pan for those who bake out there in chicken world

Where did you get Dark Brahma eggs?

My name neighbor down the road breeds brahmas. I can grab you a dozen or so hatching eggs to bring you at WCA bday bash day!

Quote: Oh, please do! Just the darks. I've decided to stick to one color of Brahmas. I do have a dozen young ones already, but another source would be lovely!

Speaking of the Birthday Bash in March....I need a reminder of the weekend, and how many birthdays we are celebrating! I keep forgetting, and want to put it on my calendar before I book anything else that weekend by accident!
