Dutch Double Dill Bread


1pkg. yeast
2. warm water 110 degrees
2T. oil
3T. honey
1c. yogurt or sour cream
2t. salt
1T. dill weed
1T. dill seed
5c. whole wheat flour
3c. rye flour
IN a bowl, mix together 1/2c. water and yeast. Let sit 5-10min. Combine remaining ingredients except flours in mixer, add yeast mixture, then add flour's 1c. at a time till it forms a soft yet easy to handle dough. Knead. I let the mixer knead it, but you could hand knead it if you wanted.
Place dough in a greased bowl and let rise for 1hr. (omit this step if using the mixer to knead the dough) Punch dough down, and shape into 2 round loaves (you may put the dough into 2 greased loaf pans) Place round loaves on a greased cookies sheet, you may have to use two sheets, remember that your loaf will double in size! Let rise about 45min. (more or less) or till doubled in size. Bake at 425 for 15min. then reduce temp. to 350 and bake another 20-25min. till loaf is brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Cool, then slice and enjoy!
Yields: 2 loaves 16 slices per loaf
