DILL FLAKEY BREAD

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 cup pastry flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
Oil, for greasing the bowl
3/4 cup (12 tablespoons) butter, very soft
1 cup chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, pastry flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Create a well in the center and add 3/4 cup water. Mix until you have a shaggy dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead, adding additional flour as needed, until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and rest for 30 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out onto a work surface and divide into 6 balls. Keep them covered with plastic wrap when you're not working with them. Using your hands, spread 1 tablespoon butter on a large work surface, top one of the balls of dough with another tablespoon of butter and pat out into a flat circle. Put the buttered dough ball on top of the spot of butter on the work surface. Using a flat hand, gently massage the dough in circular motions (as if you're washing a window) to flatten it out into a very large translucent circle. It's ok if it tears and is not perfect just try to get it as thin as possible!
  • Top with a sprinkling of the dill and then roll it out into a long, skinny log. Roll the log into a coil and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Roll out the coils into 7-inch-round circles by placing them between two pieces of wax paper and flattening with a rolling pin. The dough will probably want to stick to the wax paper, but it's ok if it tears while you're peeling it off. Alternatively, you can stick the rolled-out coils in the fridge for about 30 minutes, which will make them slightly easier to handle.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook one at a time until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve hot!

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which results in a stronger gluten network and a crispier crust.
  • Make sure the butter is very cold before adding it to the dough. This will help create flaky layers in the bread.
  • Roll the dough out gently. Over-working the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the dough rise evenly and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Brush the top of the bread with milk or egg wash before baking. This will give the bread a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Dill Flakey Bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply served with butter and jam. With its flaky texture and savory dill flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
