[Guest guest]

This is one of my personal favs from the Moosewood

cookbooks. i have made this for years and it is a great

quick bread for veggie sandwiches. Don't know if i have

posted this before....*shrugs*, so here it is!

 

Yogurt & Herb Bread

 

1 cup unbleached white flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp. baking pwdr

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

 

4 Tbs. melted btter

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup firm yogurt

1/3 cup light honey

 

1 tsp dill

1/2 tsp. oregano

1/2 tsp. thyme

1/2 tsp. basil

1/2 tsp. tarragon

 

optional: 1 Tbs. each dried parsley & chives

 

1. Sift together the first 5 ingredients. Make a well

in the center of the bowl.

 

2. Beat together (w/ electric mixer) the next

4 ingredients for 3-5 minutes~ until frothy.

Add the herbs and beat well.

 

3. Pour herb mixture into the well in the center

of the dry ingrdients, and mix with a spoon until

thoroughly blended.

 

4. Pour into a well-buttered loaf pan, and bake

40-50 minutes in 350 degree oven. (until knife

inserted into center of bread comes out clean)

 

NOTE: The flavors of the herbs get stronger as

the bread ages~ you will have a chance to notice

this if the bread sits around for several days before

it is completely eaten.

Oh the mind, mind has mountains, cliffs of fall

Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed. Hold them cheap

may who ne'er hung there.
