GARLIC AND HERB BREAD



Garlic and Herb Bread image

This is wonderful with spaghetti, lasagna, or another Italian dish, but my family likes it with almost anything. It's very good if made the day before you need it, then split down the middle, buttered, and reheated at mealtime. I use a bread machine, but it can be made without. I like to use the dough cycle, then bake it in a French loaf pan.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh herbs. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount as you would fresh. Garlic is the star of this bread, so be generous with the amount of garlic you add. You can use more or less garlic depending on your taste. If you like a crispy crust, brush the bread with olive oil before baking. This will help the crust to crisp up and give the bread a beautiful golden color.
  • Be sure to let the dough rise for the full amount of time. This will help the bread to develop a light and fluffy texture. If you don't let the dough rise for long enough, the bread will be dense and heavy. Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. You can use a stand mixer or a food processor to make the dough. However, if you use a food processor, be careful not to overmix the dough.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the loaf. Use a toothpick to check if the bread is done. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.

Conclusion:

French Garlic and Herb Bread is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for any occasion. This bread is light and fluffy, with a crispy crust and a garlicky, herbaceous flavor. It is perfect for serving with soups, stews, or salads. You can also enjoy it as a snack or breakfast toast. Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!
