Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast with 1 teaspoon of the sugar in warm water. Add the yogurt, onion, remaining sugar, butter, egg, dill seed, salt, and 1 cup flour. Beat in a mixer until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Shape each portion into a 20-inch rope. Place ropes on a large, greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
