With its tender crumb and fresh dill flavor, this bread pairs wonderfully with soups and salads, and works as a base for sandwiches. The addition of cottage cheese gives the bread a subtle tang and keeps it moist. Plus, there\u2019s nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread filling your kitchen!<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Dill Bread<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Active dry yeast:<\/b> Yeast helps the bread rise, giving it a soft and fluffy texture. If you don\u2019t have active dry yeast, instant yeast can be used as a substitute.<\/li>\n<li><b>Warm water (110\u00b0 to 115\u00b0):<\/b> Warm water activates the yeast, starting the fermentation process. Make sure the water isn\u2019t too hot to avoid killing the yeast.<\/li>\n<li><b>Cottage cheese (2%):<\/b> Cottage cheese adds moisture and a slight tang to create a tender crumb. Ricotta cheese can also be used if you prefer a creamier texture.<\/li>\n<li><b>Fresh dill or dill weed:<\/b> Fresh dill adds bright, herby notes that complement the tang of the cottage cheese. Dill weed can be used if fresh dill isn\u2019t available.<\/li>\n<li><b>Butter:<\/b> Melted butter brings a rich flavor and helps keep the bread moist. Olive oil works well for a dairy-free option.<\/li>\n<li><b>Salt:<\/b> Salt boosts the overall flavor to balance the dough&#8217;s sweetness and highlighting the dill. Kosher salt is a good alternative if you prefer a milder taste.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sugar:<\/b> Sugar slightly sweetens the bread and feeds the yeast, aiding in the rising process. Honey is a good substitute if you prefer natural sweeteners.<\/li>\n<li><b>Dill seed:<\/b> Dill seed adds a bit of crunch and deepens the bread\u2019s flavor. You can reduce the amount or skip it entirely for a milder taste.<\/li>\n<li><b>Egg:<\/b> Room temperature eggs mix more smoothly into the dough, helping to bind the ingredients. To quickly bring an egg to room temperature, place it in warm water for about 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><b>All-purpose flour:<\/b> Flour provides structure to create a sturdy yet soft loaf. Bread flour can be used for a chewy texture. You can also try whole wheat flour for added fiber and a nuttier flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2074186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Dill-Bread_TOHD24_22667_KristinaVanni_Social_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Dill Bread photo of the prepared dough rising in a bowl.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA VANNI FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water.
