Time 1h50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 (.25 ounce) packages instant yeast
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
¾ cup milk
½ cup water
¼ cup butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, salt, and herbs.
  • Heat milk, water, and 1/4 cup butter until very warm (120-130 degrees F); stir into dry ingredients. Stir in egg and enough remaining flour to make soft dough.
  • Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece to 30 inch rope. Braid ropes; pinch ends to seal. Tie knot in center of braid; wrap ends around knot, in opposite directions, and tuck under to make round loaf. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubles in size, about 20 to 40 minutes.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 30 to 35 minutes or until done, covering with foil during last 10 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning. Melt remaining butter; brush over loaf. Sprinkle with additional herbs, if desired. Remove from sheet; let cool on wire rack.

GARDEN HERB LOAF

I wanted something different than the usual wheat bread, so I made this recipe with half wheat and half white flour and I am so glad I did. The best part is shaping the bread. I was scared to at first, but it actually turned out to be very simple and fun! The herbs give this bread such a tasty and unique flavor! **Also I didn't use rapid rise yeast, so I had to let the dough rise a lot longer then said here. About an hour for each time**

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, flavorful herbs for the best results.
  • Use a variety of herbs to create a complex flavor profile.
  • Be sure to chop the herbs finely so they distribute evenly throughout the loaf.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense loaf.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing and serving.

Garden herb loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh herbs from your garden, and it can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. This flavorful bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
