Dilly Bread Recipe

This is a delicious, moist bread. The dill flavor makes a nice addition to a sandwich. This recipe can also be made into dinner rolls, and the little flakes of dill add a pretty green color to the rolls. Dill can be grown in the garden. Mom’s dill would come up year after year, but I haven’t had as much luck with mine.
