Provided by Kristin

Categories     Bread

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic (minced (or 3 teaspoons))
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray with nonstick cooking spray a standard 9x5 loaf pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Gently mix in the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk and egg.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients. Gently stir and fold the ingredients until all the flour has been incorporated and a wet batter is formed. Gently fold in the herbs and garlic. Be careful not to over-mix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading to the edges.
  • Bake in the preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes. When finished, the loaf should be domed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

  • Wrap cooled loaves tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to a week. For freezer storage, wrap in plastic and aluminum foil and frozen for up to three months.

Provided by Nagi | RecipeTin Eats

Categories     Bread

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tbsp fresh herbs (, finely chopped (I used a mix of dill, rosemary, parsley and thyme) (Note 1))
2 tbsp olive oil
5 oz / 150g block cheese ((cheddar or tasty), cut into 2mm / 0.1" thick slices (about 10 to 12 slices) (Note 2))
Butter for greasing
2 1/4 cups plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk ((See Note 3 for substitute))
2 eggs
2 small garlic cloves (, crushed)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  • Grease a bread tin (21 x 11 cm / 8" x 4") or small cake tin with butter.
  • Mix the herbs and olive oil in a small bowl.
  • Sift the Dry Ingredients into a bowl.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients into a bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Make a well in the centre of the Dry Ingredients. Pour the Wet Ingredients in and mix until just combined.
  • Pour 1/3 of the batter into the bread tin. Dollop half the herbs across the top then use a knife to "swirl" it into the batter up and down, and also turning the batter over (refer photo below).
  • Use half the cheese slices and push them randomly into the batter. Push some all the way in and leave some poking out of the batter.
  • Pour the remaining batter over the top. Dollop and swirl the remaining herbs, then randomly wedge in the remaining cheese, pushing most of it below the surface of the batter. Even out the surface.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden. Remove from oven and cover with foil, then bake for a further 15 to 20 minutes (total baking time of 45 to 50 minutes). Check to make sure the centre is cooked by inserting a skewer - it should come out clean.
  • Turn the bread out onto a cooking rack. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.

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.
