Onion and Herb Bread

From the Vegetarian Epicure, by Anna Thomas

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 TB sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 TB butter
• 1 package yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 2 1/4 cup white or whole wheat flour
• 1/2 small onion, minced
• 1/2 tsp dried dill weed (I used oregano, as I didn't have any dill)
• 1 tsp crushed, dried rosemary

Directions:

• Scald the milk and dissolve in it the sugar, salt, and butter; cool to lukewarm.
• In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
• Add the cooled milk, flour, minced onion, and herbs, and stir well with a large wooden spoon.
• When the batter is smooth, cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until triple in bulk, about 45 minutes.
• Stir down and beat vigorously for a few minutes, then turn into a greased bred pan.
• Let it stand in a warm place about 10 minutes before putting it into a preheated, 350 degree oven.
• Bake for one hour.
