Kim's Herb Bread



This is hands-down the best bread recipe ever. I even tried it with peaches 'n' cream jam this evening, and it tasted grand. A little...different...but still great! The bead is delicious with cheese and meat, butter, or all on it's own. Delicious to pair with soup, too!

Kim's Herb Bread

2T yeast
3 cups warm water
4T sugar
1t salt
1T caraway seed
1t basil
1t oregano
1t garlic powder
2T dehydrated onions.

Mix the above ingredients and allow to stand until the watery mixture is bubbly and "raising" from the yeast.

Add 6+ cups of flour-enough to make a sticky dough.

Allow to raise. Punch down and form into 2 loaves on a greased cookie sheet. Can also make a braided loaf out of it. Allow to raise again, until it is double in size.

Bake in a 400F oven for 20 minutes.

It'll be fairly pale but will have a nice hollow sound to the crunchy crust when done. I always spread butter over the top of mine immediately after pulling it out of the oven!

ENJOY!
