GARLIC AND HERB PULL APART BREAD
This was fantastic with spaghetti, my family loved it... in fact my husband tried to eat the whole thing. Keep in mind though, we love garlic at our house. If you are not a fan of strong garlic, streamline the amount until you are comfortable with it.

CHICKEN, ARTICHOKE AND BROCCOLI BAKE WITH HERB BREAD CRUMBS
This one-dish dinner is indeed a casserole - but it's bright and light, and nearly effortless. Toss canned artichokes with capers, garlic and chicken stock, pour over chicken breasts and broccoli florets, then let the oven do the work. Canned artichokes are the main flavor builder here so opt for the firmer water-packed variety, which hold their shape better during cooking. While the casserole bakes, toast the panko bread crumbs and season them with dill. Serve the chicken with a squeeze of lemon for brightness and a sprinkle of herby bread crumbs for crunch.

- Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add panko, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool, then stir in dill and season with salt and pepper.

Yield Makes 18 twists
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Lightly oil 2 large (17- by 13-inch) baking sheets.
- Stir together rosemary, thyme, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Stir together oil, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in another bowl.
- Divide dough in half. Keeping half of dough covered with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth), gently roll out other half into a 15-by 10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. (Use your hands to pull corners. If dough is very elastic, cover with towel and let rest about 3 minutes.)
- Sprinkle one half of dough (crosswise) with half of herb mixture, then fold dough in half crosswise and roll lightly to form a roughly 10- by 8-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 9 strips (less than 1 inch wide) with a pizza wheel or a sharp heavy knife. Keeping remaining strips covered with a kitchen towel, twist each strip from both ends and place on baking sheet, arranging twists 1 inch apart. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand while forming remaining bread twists.
- Roll out and form more bread twists with remaining dough and herb mixture, then arrange on other sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand 5 minutes.
- Bake bread twists, switching position of sheets halfway through, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, stir together parsley and remaining 3/4 cup cheese in a shallow baking pan.
- Immediately after baking, brush bread twists with remaining garlic oil, then roll in parsley and cheese until coated. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs provide the best flavor in herb bread. If you don't have access to fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Chop the herbs finely: Finely chopped herbs will distribute more evenly throughout the bread and provide a more consistent flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the bread rise in a warm place: A warm place will help the bread rise quickly and evenly.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Conclusion:
Herb bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a side dish, used to make sandwiches or croutons, or einfach enjoyed on its own. With so many different variations available, there is sure to be a herb bread recipe that everyone will enjoy.
