Directions:In a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and stir in 1/2 tsp of sugar. Let stand until foamy. Stir in the sour cream, egg, butter, scallion, 2 Tbs sugar and the dill seed (I never use this), dill weed, salt and 1 cup of flour. Beat with a wooden spoon or mixer until well blended. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as possible with a spoon, then turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead in enough additional flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Continue kneading until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn the dough to coat with oil. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a draft-free place until double, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough. For rolls: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to 1 1/2/" thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30-60 minutes. Beat the egg yolk with 2 Tbs of water. Brush on rolls or loaf. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees; bake 15-20 minutes. |
