Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh herbs whenever possible. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount since they are more concentrated.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- When baking the bread, be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This will help the bread rise properly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave at least 2 inches of space between each loaf of bread.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
