Garden Herb Loaf image

I wanted something different than the usual wheat bread, so I made this recipe with half wheat and half white flour and I am so glad I did. The best part is shaping the bread. I was scared to at first, but it actually turned out to be very simple and fun! The herbs give this bread such a tasty and unique flavor! **Also I didn't use rapid rise yeast, so I had to let the dough rise a lot longer then said here. About an hour for each time**

Yield 1 loaf, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 ounce fast rising yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1 egg

Steps:

  • In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, salt, marjoram, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Heat milk, water, and 1/4 cup butter until very warm (120° to 130°F); stir into dry ingredients.

  • Divide dough into 3 equal pieces.
  • Roll each piece to 30-inch rope.
  • Braid ropes; pinch ends to seal.

  • Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 20 to 40 minutes.
  • Bake at 375°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until done, covering with foil during last 10 minutes to prevent excess browning.

This bread is very dense and flavorful. I would recommend using a bread machine to make it, as it can be difficult to mix by hand.
