I have a bread machine (although I used to make my bread by hand, this is MUCH more convenient) and here is the herb bread recipe I use…
1 c warm water
1 beaten egg
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp oil (olive is yummier)
2 tsp dried rosemary (or 2 tbsp fresh)
1 tsp each dried oregano and basil (or 1 tbsp each fresh)
3 c flour
2 tsp bread machine yeast
Place in machine according to machine instructions (or if you make bread by hand, you already know what to do). A few minutes into kneading, check that the dough is the consistency that you want, add any flour or extra water that you need (I usually find I need a little bit of flour). Bake on large loaf, light crust. This herb combination smells heavenly, and goes great with chicken or pasta or on picnics.
You can use any combination of herbs you like, and adjust it to complement the meal you are serving if you like. Another favorite combination for us is dill and onion bread. Just omit the herbs in the recipe above and add 1/4 c finely chopped onion and 1 tbsp dried dill leaf (or three tbsp fresh). yummity yum.
