- Yields:
-
1 loaf
- Serves:
- 12
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
directions
- 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!

Wonderfully quick and easy to make - no need to knead! I used fresh yeast and half whole-wheat flour and half bread flour. Love the subtle onion & herb taste; this goes really well with smoked cheese! Thank you for sharing!
