dill buttermilk bread

Very tasty bread, first loaf was slightly dry due to accidental use of unbleached ap flour, 2nd was better.

We will try #2 again to see if that is perfect or not.

Ok, this has become one of my favorite breads of all time. I love it on french toast, warmed in a skillet, etc.

A bit crumbly for use as heavy duty sandwich bread but still it does it's best to fill that bill when called upon to do so.

Picture below mealmaster recipe.


Fresh dill looks better, dry dill and more of it improves taste in some situations, and not so much in others. If the bread will be eaten alone the recipe is a good amount of dry dill. If however it will interact with anything moist the extra dill can be a big boon.
