Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 ¼ cups warm water
2 tablespoons shortening
3 teaspoons dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon margarine, melted

Steps:

Combine 2 cups flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Stir in the water, shortening, parsley, rosemary, and thyme.

HERB BATTER BREAD

Herb Batter Bread image

I got this recipe from a local newspaper 30 years ago. It was my first ever bread, and has been a consistent blue ribbon winner at the county fair. Because it takes about 2 hours, start to finish, I have "assembly lined" making large quantities. When the first loaf is in the second rising, begin the next loaf. I've made this with a mixer and dough hooks, and with a bowl and a wooden spoon.

Time 45m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons salt
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon thyme (leaves, not powder)
2 (2 ounce) packages active dry yeast (or 2 TBSP bulk yeast)
1 cup milk
1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine

Steps:

Put the milk, water and butter (or margarine) in a small saucepan over low heat to warm.
Butter or margarine does NOT need to melt.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, the sugar, salt, basil, oregano, thyme and dry yeast.
Stir dry ingredients to mix well.
Add warm liquid ingredients and beat until well blended.
Add flour, 1/2 to 1 cup at a time, and continue beating until well blended.
Cover bowl with a towel and set in a warm place to rise for about 40 minutes, or until doubled.
Grease a 9 x 3 x 5 inch loaf pan with butter or margarine.
Stir batter down and beat for about one minute, then pour into the loaf pan.
Let rise, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, or until doubled.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes.
When done, remove from pan, cool and slice to serve.

Tips:

- Ensure that the yeast is active. To check this, mix it with warm water and a pinch of sugar. If it starts to foam after about 10 minutes, it is active. - Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but you will need to use about twice as much. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough. - When frying the bread, make sure the oil is hot enough. If it is not hot enough, the bread will absorb too much oil and become greasy. - Serve the bread hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, jam, honey, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Herb batter bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite herbs and toppings. With a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior, this bread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
