This is one of my favorite breads
5 cups water (110 degrees)
1 oz yeast
1/2 cup sugar
Allow yeast to bloom
While yeast is blooming caramelize onions in butter and add the dill towards the end...
1 medium onion (diced)
1/2 lb margarine
1 tbsp dry dill weed or other herb (really good with rosemary)
Add caramelized onions to the yeast mixture and add:
1 1/4 oz salt
4 lbs 7 oz all purpose flour
*These instructions are for a Kitchenaid mixer but can easier be done by hand
Mix on speed 2 for 5 minutes
reduce to speed 1 and adjust flour if necessary
Transfer to a greased bowl and cover. Let double in size
Portion dough, let rest 5 minutes and shape.
Let dough double in size and bake.
If making:
rolls - 2 1/2 oz - 375 for 15-20 minutes
loaves - 16 oz - 350 for 30-35 minutes
