Ingredients

1 cup milk

3 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

5 teaspoons butter

2 packages dry yeast

1 cup very warm water

4 ½ cups flour

2 tablespoons instant minced onion

2 tablespoons dried dill weed

Additional melted butter

Salt

Crisco for greasing the pans

Preparation

Scald milk and remove from heat. Stir in sugar, salt and butter until dissolved. Cool mixture to lukewarm. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in water. Add cooled milk mixture. Stir flour into yeast mixture. Add minced onions and dill weed. Stir together until well-blended, about 2 minutes. Cover with a cotton towel and let rise until about tripled in bulk (approximately 1-½ hours). Punch down and separate into 2 pieces. Place each piece into separate eight-inch, greased pans and spread dough until it is covering the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes to an hour. Brush with butter and sprinkle with salt.

Makes two loaves.
