Directions
Hawaiian Bread With Dill Dip, This is a dip and bread combo that I learned to make after a guest brought something similar to my home for Thanksgiving many years ago After several trials & errors, and hours pouring over community cookbooks, I combined several different recipes and came up this version She used purchased Hawaiian bread, but I have always made my own, as Hawaiian bread is not always available for purchase As far as the optional ingredients go on the dip – I most often use the cream cheese and the green onions (and once even used a little of both the green onions and some of the flaked) I have actually had guests beg me to let them carry off the empty bread shell home with them! This makes an extra loaf of bread, which you may freeze before or after baking to have ready for another use TIP: When I make this, I start the dough early in the morning, then prepare the dip while the bread is rising Later that same evening, the dill flavors have blended nicely and I fill the bread right before my guests arrive If you prefer, you may instead simply use purchased 1 or 2 loaves of large round Hawaiian Bread Prep time is pretty much several hours if you make your own bread, 15 minutes if using purchased bread, plus chilling time NOTE: Nutritional data will appear a bit out of whack because the software does not understand that this recipe makes a 10-15 serving bowl of dip and also 2 loaves of bread , I made the hawaiian bread and thought it was very good and also easy to make I would like it a little sweeter The dip was very good but I should have read the to taste on the seasoned salt It was a bit too salty so I added a little sugar to kill the salty taste All in all they both were good I think the secret for the lady that wrote that her’s cracked, is to just add enough flour to make the dough stiff enough to knead Too Much can make it dry and then that could could cause it to crack , The taste of the bread (sweet, with a hint of lemon) and dip in this recipe were wonderful But I can’t give the recipe full marks because I had some problems with the bread It all seemed to go well until I put the bread in the oven As the bread baked up it did not stay as a round loaf The top looked wonderful but it cracked around the sides When I checked it after the 30 minutes baking time it did not sound hollow (although the top was golden) so I put it back in for another five minutes By this time the top was starting to burn so I took it out of the oven but when I hollowed the bread it still was not cooked on the inside It probably needed another 5-10 minutes Also, when I hollowed out the bread the cracks meant the bowl wouldn’t have held the dip In the end, we just cut up the outside bits of the bread (which were cooked) and put them on our veggie platter It tasted great, but not being able to serve it in the bowl was a bit disappointing [Editor’s note: recipe was updated as a result of these comments 3/31/03]
