Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

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

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.
