Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs provide the best flavor for this bread. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size. A warm place will help the dough rise quickly and evenly.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it is golden brown on top. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.

Conclusion:

This herb bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a variety of fresh herbs, which give it a flavorful and aromatic taste. The bread is also soft and fluffy, thanks to the addition of butter and milk. This bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply served with butter and jam.
