HERBES DE PROVENCE SPREAD (FOR BREAD)
I mixed this up one night when I didn't want plain old garlic bread with dinner. We love it. The lavendar in the herbes really make this mix. I have never mixed my own Herbes de Provence, but have had success using Penzey's or Victoria Taylor's blend of spices. This may be mixed and stored in the fridge, or spread on bread and frozen for future use. The cheese is optional, and I have used provolone, mozzarela, or even white American with success. You could use French or Italian loaves, or some nice ciabatta rolls. I have a little crock of this in my fridge, and I use it on green beans and baked potatoes as well. It's very versatile!

OLIVE OIL AND HERBES DE PROVENCE BREAD
Usually I post things to get the nutritional info, but this one is so worth sharing. My husband says this is the best bread he has tasted. It's another recipe by the fabulous Laura Calder on Food TV Canada's 'French Food at Home.' I made this by hand and it was as easy as homemade bread can be. Any dried herbs can be used for this, and it can also be made without any herbs, but it's not as good. I used McCormick's Herbes de Provence, which is a blend of rosemary, marjoram, thyme, savory, basil, lavender and sage. Makes an excellent accompaniment for any French or Italian dish, or serve it toasted and open faced with butter, slices of fresh tomatoes and your favourite cheese. It's so good.

Steps:
- Stir the sugar and yeast into the water, and set aside for 10 minutes to dissolve.
- Put the olive oil and salt in a large mixing bowl, and add the yeast mixture.
- Beat in 1-1/2 cups/285 g of the flour, until smooth, along with the herbs.
- Work in the remaining cup/125 g flour, turning it onto the countertop to knead, until you have smooth, springy dough, 10 to 15 minutes. (I found 15 minutes yeilded a much better bread than 10 minutes).
- Cover with a tea towel and set in a warm place to rise to double, about 45 minutes.
- Punch the dough down and shape into a loaf. (I shaped mine into a ball by pressing the dough slightly flat, folding in the corners, pinching them together and then flipping the ball over with the pinched corners on the bottom. I then made three long slices in the top for steam to escape. This is how Laura did it on the show.).
- Let rise again 30 minutes (or not), and bake at 400ºF/200ºC for 25 minutes until done. I brush the loaf with an egg/milk wash before I bake it, but it's not necessary. The wash is 1 yolk beaten with a tablespoon or two of milk. You can also spray the loaf lightly with water, or put a pan of boiling water in the oven to give the bread a crispy crust.
- Let the bread cool a little before slicing to serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs if possible. Fresh herbs will give your spread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Don't over-process the spread. You want the spread to have a little texture, so don't over-process it in the food processor. Pulse the ingredients until they are combined, but not until they are completely smooth.
- Taste the spread as you make it. This will help you adjust the seasonings to your liking. If you like a more garlicky spread, add more garlic. If you like a more lemony spread, add more lemon juice.
- Use the spread right away or store it in the refrigerator for later. The spread will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze the spread for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Herbes de Provence spread is a delicious and versatile spread that can be used on sandwiches, wraps, and crackers. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken, fish, or vegetables. The spread is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give Herbes de Provence spread a try!
