Time 4h10m

Yield 2 pound loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons powdered milk
2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/4 teaspoons yeast

Steps:

Follow instructions for your bread machine.
My machine instructs to measure ingredients in the order listed into the baking pan. (I mix the water and powdered milk and microwave for about 30 seconds on high before putting in pan.).
Insert baking pan into oven chamber and secure pan.
Select basic bread setting and 2 pound loaf.
When cycle ends, I put the loaf into a large zip lock bag, seal, and place on wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

For a crispier crust, brush the top of the bread with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
If you want a softer crust, cover the bread with a damp cloth or plastic wrap after it has cooled slightly.
To make sure the bread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Italian herb bread is a versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own, with butter or olive oil, or used to make sandwiches, Bruschetta, or croutons.
