Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon dill weed
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your oven is at the right temperature for baking the bread.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of dill weed. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 egg until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or a bit of vegetable oil to prevent the bread from sticking.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- After cooling, carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Enjoy your delicious Dilly Bread warm or at room temperature, perfect as a side dish or snack!
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife for precision.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, so be gentle!
- Add Fresh Dill: If you want an extra burst of flavor, consider adding fresh dill instead of dried. Just chop it finely and fold it into the batter for a fresh twist.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your bread a few minutes before the suggested baking time. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Cool Properly: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps maintain its shape and texture.
- Storage: To keep your Dilly Bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze it for longer storage.
- Serving Suggestions: This bread pairs beautifully with soups, salads, or even as a base for delicious sandwiches. Get creative with your pairings!
