Baking Dilly Bread

My family discovered this delicious Dilly Bread recipe years ago and we still enjoy it today. It goes especially well with beef stew but can be served at any meal, of course. I am definitely not a bread baker but even I can make this one. Dilly Bread would make a great gift as it is baked in a casserole dish. Bake a fragrant loaf of Dilly Bread in a pretty casserole dish and give the whole thing as a gift. Take it to a housewarming, or take it to Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Homemade bread is always appreciated!

    We saw our friends last night who like to make the different bread recipes -- didn't get a chance to ask though what might be their latest recipe!

    I baked all our bread. Store-bought bread just doesn't have any flavor.

    Interesting recipe -- I use dill a lot more these days -- particularly like it on salmon. Hadn't thought about dill in bread though. Must try.
