How to Make Garden Herb Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon flaked dried herbs (or 2 tablespoons fresh, or 1/2 teaspoon ground dried herbs), and 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture.
  4. Stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Cover the loaf pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  9. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
