Method
- Combine self-rising flour, sugar, and dried dill in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until evenly distributed. Transfer to an airtight container for storage if gifting.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the prepared dry mix and add the beer or seltzer. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined; the batter will be lumpy and shaggy.
- Grease your loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Scrape the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it roughly level. Pour one-third of the melted butter over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, pour another third of the butter over the partially baked bread and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining butter and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Once golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 30 to 40 minutes before turning out or slicing.

Notes
Don't overmix the batter to avoid tough bread. You can substitute seltzer for beer for an alcohol-free version. For a crispy crust, sprinkle coarse sea salt on top before the final butter pour.
